Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday withdrew his controversial “tit for tat” statement and apologized saying he did not want to encourage any conflict in the society. This comes days after we talked about “tit for like” during a meeting. On 3 October, when he asked the BJP’s Kisan Morcha in Chandigarh to form groups of 500 to 1,000 and be ready to go to jail, the opposition and agricultural unions alleged that he was asking BJP supporters to attack Huh. Farmers protesting against three agriculture laws of the Centre.
He said, ‘I withdraw my statement. I don’t want to encourage any kind of conflict in the society.”
A video clip of Khattar’s remarks had gone viral on social media, with the opposition and the United Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of over 40 farm unions leading the protest against the anti-agriculture law, alleging He said that he also told the supporters. The BJP will raise sticks (“tha lo dande”) against the protesting farmers.
In the programme, apparently referring to the impact of the ongoing farmers’ agitation, Khattar said that the problem is not much in South Haryana and is confined to the northern and western districts of the state. “Make groups of 500, 700, 1,000 farmers and make them volunteers. And then everywhere, ‘sathe satyam samachar’. What does it mean – it means tit for tat (as for tit).
“Don’t worry… when you stay there (in jail) for one month, three months or six months, you will become a big leader, your name will be recorded in history,” he said.
Opposition parties and farm unions had hit out at the Haryana Chief Minister for his remarks against the protesting farmers.
