Anil Vij faces protest from farmer union, terms them ‘Congress workers’

A group of farmers under the banner of Bhartiya Kisan Union (Shaheed Bhagat Singh) raised slogans against former Home Minister and Ambala Cantonment BJP candidate Anil Vij during his campaigning in Garnala village on Sunday evening.

As per reports, he had reached the village to address a public meeting.

Meanwhile, the group of farmers reached near the venue and started raising slogans against Vij and the BJP.

On the other hand, his supporters started raising slogans in his favour to counter the protestors.

The agitating farmers said that they have been protesting against the BJP leader as they were not allowed to go to Delhi to raise their demands. 

The police officials had a tough time in keeping the protestors away from the BJP leader. 

While addressing the gathering, Vij said “The people who were protesting were the Congress workers. They are trying to disturb the peaceful election. In a democracy, people have the right to express themselves. We will not let them disturb the peaceful atmosphere in the country.”
