The All India Kishan Sangarsh Samanwaya Samiti (AIKSSS), Odisha on Thursday said there is an effort by the Central Government to tarnish the image of the farmers’ agitation being held in New Delhi demanding withdrawal of the farm laws.
Samiti Odisha chapter’s Suresh Panigrahi demanded that the FIR lodged against the senior leaders of the agitation be taken back and those arrested be released.However, he demanded that stringent action be taken against those who indulged in violence during the tractor rally in the national capital on January 26.
Particularly, the organisation led by Punjabi actor Dip Sidhu and Satnam Singh Panu. He said that though the Delhi police had prior information that the organisation would create unrest during the rally, it did not take adequate precautionary steps.
He said the AIKSSS would hold a Satyagraha in Bhubaneswar and other places in the State on January 30.
Among others, Akhil Bharat Krushak Sabha secretaries Khirod Singh Deo, Ashok Pradhan and Mahendra Parida and other leaders were present.
