New Delhi, Oct.16: The alleged killing of a man near the Singhu border was “unfortunate,” according to Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) chairman Rakesh Tikait, but it will not deter farmers from protesting the Centre’s three farm laws.
“Whatever happened is wrong and unfortunate. Someone killed him and later the police arrested the killer. The matter is subject to investigation. It will not affect our protest,” said Tikait.
