"Sarkari Taliban": Farmer Leader Rakesh Tikait's Attack Over Crackdown

Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday called Karnal civil officer Ayush Sinha commander of "Sarkari Talibani" for ordering police to "crack the heads" of farmers at a protest yesterday. "Yesterday, an officer ordered (policemen) to hit farmers on their heads. They call us Khalistani. If you would call us Khalistani and Pakistani, we would say Sarkari Talibani has occupied the country. They are Sarkari Talibanis," the farmer leader said at an event in Haryana's Nuh.
