Chief Minister Siddaramaiah condemned the arrest of Hubballi farmers by the Madhya Pradesh government as they were heading to a protest in Delhi.
In a statement here, he said: “I demand that the Madhya Pradesh government immediately release all the farmers from our State and allow them to participate in the protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Tuesday.”
“Although it is the government of Madhya Pradesh that has made the arrests, it is clear that the criminal mind behind this act is the Central BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he alleged.
