AIKS CONDEMNS ATTACK ON RAKESH TIKAIT IN BANGALORE

The All India Kisan Sabha strongly condemns the attack on BKU leader Rakesh Tikait and other Kisan leaders at Bangalore. About a dozen miscreants barged into a Press Conference being addressed by them and carried out the attack. Miscreants who threw black paint on the face of Rakesh Tikait is reported to have shouted pro-Modi slogans. The attack is a grave security lapse and a failure of the BJP Government in Karnataka.

AIKS demands an impartial enquiry and strong deterrent action against the culprits. The complicit role of the BJP in the incident also has to be exposed. The BJP-RSS have been all along opposing the historic farmers movement of which Rakesh Tikait was an important part.

AIKS warns the forces behind the incident that such threats and attacks on Kisan leaders will not be tolerated. Such cowardly attacks cannot stop Kisans from raising their voices against anti-farmer policies of the Narendra Modi led BJP Government.
