What does the farmer leader have to say?

He was at Khanauri border. He is the fourth martyr. 62 year old Darshan Singh was martyred due to heart disease. First, the compensation amount given to the three martyred farmers should also be given to them. Darshan Singh's family members said that Darshan Singh fainted at around 11 pm on Thursday night. From there he was taken to the nearby Patan Community Health Center (CHC), from where doctors referred him to a higher centre. After this he was taken to Government Rajendra Hospital in Patiala where doctors declared him brain dead.

Son got married a month ago

Darshan Singh's friends told that he had married his son only a month ago. Farmers organization BKU Ekta Sidhupur has demanded compensation for the family of Darshan Singh. District general secretary of the organization Resham Singh said that the government should accept the demands of the farmers so that more farmers can be prevented from dying. Relative Lakhveer Singh said, “Darshan Singh is survived by his wife Paramjit Kaur, a daughter and a 24-year-old son, who got married just 20 days ago.”

Efforts are being made to disturb law and order by pelting stones at the police administration and creating ruckus. Miscreants are damaging government and private property.
