Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait has called for an investigation to confirm if there was a lapse in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s security in Punjab due to which his programme was changed or was it because of the anger of farmers.
“While those in the BJP are saying that the rally was cancelled due to a lapse in security of the prime minister, the Punjab chief minister is claiming that the PM returned because of empty chairs at the rally.
“Now it is necessary to investigate whether there is a lapse in the security or the anger of the farmers!” Tikait tweeted in Hindi
भाजपा द्वारा @PMOIndia जी की सुरक्षा में चूक करने के कारण रैली रद्द करने की बात कहीं जा रहीं है,वहीं दूसरी और पंजाब के मुख्यमंत्री खाली कुर्सियों की बात कहकर PM के वापस लोटने का दावा कर रहे हैं ।
?अब इस बात की जांच जरूरी है कि वापसी सुरक्षा में चूक है या फिर किसानों का आक्रोश.!

Tikait’s BKU has been part of the farmers’ collective Samyukta Kisan Morcha which spearheaded the anti-farm laws campaign against the Centre for a year until Modi announced in November 2021 that the legislations would be repealed.
