Don't want food from Badal's supporter: Farmers tells Sirsa at Tikri


New Delhi, Nov 28 (IANS): SAD's Delhi leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Saturday faced embarrassing situation when he went to offer 'langar' or community kitchen food to farmers rallying at Tikri on the Delhi-Haryana border, as protesters dubbed him a 'chamcha' or obsequious supporter of former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.

As soon as Sirsa, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) President, moved towards the protesting farmers, they protested his presence and climbed on the concrete block and police barricades to raise slogans against him as he stood there with folded hands.

"Badal de chamcheyan da langar nahi chahida (we don't want to eat langar handed over by Badal's obsequious follower)," the farmers shouted amid sloganeering against the Centre's farm policies.

As the situation tensed up a bit, Shiromani Akali Dal's (SAD) leader Sirsa beat a hasty retreat. The protesters soon calmed down and got busy with their other activities.

On Saturday, a day after their stand-off with security forces over entry into Delhi, farmers from Punjab and Haryana continued to rally and shout slogans at the Tikri interstate border entry/exit point, without any interference from the policemen who preferred to look on.

Various farmer leaders addressed the protesters even as the situation was more relaxed compared with what was witnessed on Friday, as policemen armed with a water cannon and tear-gas shells remained stationed in vicinity.
