Shocking: Ink Thrown at Farmer Leader during at Press Meet!

Update: 2022-05-30 10:59 GMT
The recent protests called by the farmers at the national border will go down as the intense protests staged by the farmers in the nation. Opposing the controversial farm bills introduced by the Union government, the protests were held and the Farmers union Bhartiya Kisan Union played a key role in the protests.

After the protests were called off, the BSU saw some cracks, and the farmers' leaders parted ways with the Tikait brothers and formed another outfit Bhartiya Kisan Union (Arajnaitik). Things are turning problematic for Rakesh Tikait after the protests.

He has been facing allegations that he might have joined hands with the UNion government. In a sting operation, a farmer leader reportedly accused Tikait on the same grounds. With the issue gaining momentum, the farm leader Rakesh Tikait held a press meeting to clear the airs on the allegations.

While Rakesh Tikait was speaking to the media, he was attacked by three people, who threw black ink at him and reportedly tried to hit him with a microphone. This attack happened in front of the media personnel who were recording Rakesh Tikait's speech.

The issue had raised many eyebrows and after the attack, Rakesh Tikait lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party which is in power in the southern state Karnataka. With the press meeting happening in Karnataka capital Bengaluru, Tikait alleged that the government failed in protecting him. I informed you earlier that I will be touring Bengaluru. Despite this, the attack happened. Is this how you protect people, Rakesh Tikait asked the Karnataka government.

Acting swiftly, the concerned Police Station took three people into custody and the cops are questioning them in connection with the issue. The pictures and videos show Tikait's face covered with ink. Throwing black ink is a form of protest to express anger against something or someone.

That is the reason why the government employees wear black badges to the office to show solidarity with the protestors. If we look back at the protests that rocked Andhra Pradesh involving the PRC scale promises, the employees and teachers wore black badges to their concerned workplaces.
