DW BUREAU / Chandigarh Farmers held protests at various places in Haryana on Sunday targeting events of BJP leaders, raising slogans against the Centre and demanding the three contentious farm laws be rolled back. At one such protest in Fatehabad, the protesters removed metal barricades put up by the police as they marched towards a venue where Haryana Cooperation Minister Banwari Lal and Sirsa MP Sunita Duggal were attending a party function. When they were stopped from entering the venue, the police said, some of the protesters removed the barricades and raised slogans. Those protesters who were carrying black flags and raising slogans against the BJP-led government were not allowed to reach the venue in the first place. Another protest was held in Jhajjar, where farmers assembled when they learnt that state BJP chief O P Dhankar was to attend a party event there later in the day. With black flags in their hands, the protesters said they would not allow the BJP or its ally JJP to hold functions unless the farm laws are repealed. In Sirsa too, farmers carrying black flags assembled and raised slogans against the government. They claimed that they had gathered there to oppose a function being organised by the BJP. In Ambala, a large number of protesters gathered on the Ambala-Saha road when they learnt that the district unit of the BJP was holding a function.
