As per information, farmers were gathering in Ambala Mandi to attend a program organized in the favour of farmer activists, famously known as 'Water Cannon' boy Navdeep Jalbera.
Condemning police action and the Haryana government, farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said farmers were gathering to felicitate Navdeep Jalbera and carry out the victory march to the Shambu border.
"Prominent among farmers who were gathering in Ambala Mandi included Jaswinder Singh Longowal, and Amarjit Singh Bohri who were accompanied by 25-30 farmers. They all have been arrested by Haryana police. While you say that farmers have the right to protest peacefully here we are not allowed to even gather in Mandi. The farmers of Haryana will answer this atrocity in the upcoming elections," said Sarwan Singh Pandher.
