JALANDHAR: Mahila Kisan Union, a member of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha, has strongly condemned the manhandling and illegal arrest of hundreds of farmers, elderly women and social workers, including Olympian wrestlers by the Delhi Police on Sunday.
The Mahila Kisan Union president Rajwinder Kaur Raju, who reached Delhi at Jantar Mantar with women union members, bemoaned that instead of providing justice to the daughters of the country, the Union government was oppressing, torturing and persecuting the girls.
She alleged that during the arrest, male members of Delhi Police dragged women and threw them into buses during arrests.
"On one hand celebrations were ongoing for new building of the Parliament, a pillar of democracy, on the other democratic values were being ruthlessly crushed at some distance at the behest of the same dispensation,” she said.
