Haryana Police on Saturday lathi-charged the protesting farmers at Gharaunda toll plaza in Karnal. Following this, farmers' organization Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) called on farmers to block all highways and toll plazas across Haryana and demanded the suspension of the officer who ordered the lathi charge.

“The use of such kind of words by an IAS officer for farmers is condemnable," Haryana Deputy CM said. Punjab CM Amarinder Singh on Saturday termed the lathicharge on farmers a "government-sponsored attack". Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar has defended the police action against protesting farmers in Karnal.
