Is the country's IPC (Indian Penal Code) different and the farmers' IPC different? It cannot be like this and pun- ishment is always given as per the offence committed. To find out the offence, a probe has to be conducted,” he added. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha has however con- demned Vij’s statement for allegedly threatening to take action against farmers. In a statement issued, the SKM said, “The Haryana government has been exposed for its anti-farmer agenda. It tried to disrupt the farm movement from the very beginning and has filed numerous cases against farm- ers and farm leaders. Yet, it promotes and supports the officer who ordered the breaking heads of farmers and refuses to take action against him.” The SKM will be holding a meeting on September 11 in Karnal to decide the future course of action. Farmers’ leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni said that the protest will continue at Karnal till their demands are accepted by the government.
