Jhanda Singh Jethuke, senior vice-president of BKU (Ekta-Ugrahan) said, “We will celebrate International Human Rights Day at Baba Banda Singh Nagar, near Tikri border, to raise our voices for the release of intellectuals and human rights activists. Demand for the release of these prisoners has been raised constantly throughout the agitation. Modi government is running a Fascist agenda. On one hand, it is promoting Adani and Ambani and on the other hand, it is pushing intellectuals and activities into jail. Around two dozen activists have been booked under UAPA for Bhima Koregaon and instigating Delhi riots”.
However, Twitter was divided over the occurrence of these posters at the farmers’ protest and many questioned whether ‘anti-India’ forces were getting together.
One user named Renuka Rajput said: “Now this is the time to take strict action, is not it?? This is no more a farmer’s protest but the anti Flag of India forces coming in disguise of hard working farmers. This drama is for Sirjeel Imam, Umar Khalid, Gautam Navlakha, Varavara Rao etc.
Now this is the time to take strict action, is not it ❓❓
