Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers and farmers reportedly clashed with each other in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district on Monday. As per reports, many have been injured in the violence as sloganeering continued from both sides.
Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Jayant Chaudhary tweeted about the incident saying, "A conflict broke out between BJP leaders and farmers in Soram village leaving many injured. If there is no talk in favour of the farmer, at least, keep a good behavior. Honour the farmer! Will the villagers tolerate the hooliganism of government representatives who are telling them the benefits of the new laws?"
The incident was reported from Soram village under Shahpur Police Station area.
Earlier on February 20, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi had addressed a public gathering in Muzaffarnagar district.
Farmers have been protesting against the Centre's new farm laws since last year. From Delhi borders, the protests have reached several districts of Uttar Pradesh like Muzaffarnagar and Shamli where 'mahapanchayats' are being held to oppose the laws.
