Attack on Farmers a Conspiracy: Channi Former Punjab Chief Minister and Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi stated, regarding the detention of farmer leaders by the Punjab Police, that the attack on farmers is part of a conspiracy. He claimed that a major attack is being planned not only on Punjab but on the entire farming community. He mentioned that a meeting was scheduled for 4 May, and the attack was launched subsequently. He asserted that the farmers were not blocking the road, but the government was, and that the farmers wanted to go to Delhi. He further stated that Punjab was being pushed back into the same difficult situation it had emerged from. Area Cleared After Warning Patiala SSP Nanak Singh stated that farmers had been protesting at the Shambhu border for a long time. After giving them a proper warning in the presence of a duty magistrate, the police cleared the area. Some people expressed a desire to go home, so they were put on buses and sent home. In addition, structures and vehicles are being removed from the area. He said that the entire road will be cleared and opened for traffic. Haryana Police will also begin its action. As soon as they clear their side, movement on the highway will resume. He added that there was no need to use force as there was no resistance. The farmers cooperated well and boarded the buses themselves.
