India: Five Farmers Killed and several injured in Madhya Pradesh : Condemn the Outrageous Police Firing says Harsh Thakor

At least five farmers were killed and several injured in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur district on Tuesday when police fired on protesters demanding better prices in the drought-ravaged region that recorded a farm suicide every five hours in 2016-17.

Angry farmers ransacked and set ablaze a police outpost after the firing as the administration clamped curfew on Pipalia town, the epicentre of violence, rushed extra forces and withdrew internet services to tamp down on social media rumours fanning violence.

Throughout the day, the BJP government denied any police firing and confirmed the five deaths only in the evening.



CONDEMN THE OUTRAGEOUS POLICE FIRING WHICH IS AN ATTACK ON A GENUINE PEASANT'S AGITATION AND AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE FASCIST PRO-CORPORATE ECONOMIC POLICIES.
