Tarn Taran: Hundreds of farmers interrupted Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal's sangat darshan programme, held recently, and showed him black flags, in Bharowal village of the Khadoor Sahib Assembly constituency. Badal, who had started the programme after a break of almost three months, was left stunned by the unrest as around 150 farmer activists of the Kissan Sangharsh Committee barged into the venue and held protests against him. Waving black flags, they raised slogans like 'Badal-Modi Murdabad' and criticised the Punjab government for ignoring issues of the farmers. The police swung into action as the chief minister left in a hurry.
