Farmers’ demand genuine, won’t convert stadium to jail: Delhi govt

New Delhi: The Delhi government has rejected the Central government’s demand to convert the Bawana Stadium into a temporary jail in view of the farmers’ march.

The Delhi government said that the demand of the farmers is right, it is wrong to arrest them.

In a letter to the chief secretary, Delhi Home Minister Kailash Gahlot stated that the farmers’ demands were genuine.

He added, “Secondly, it is the constitutional right of every citizen to engage in peaceful protest. Therefore, it is incorrect to arrest the farmers. In fact, the Central Government should invite them for talks and endeavor to find a solution to their genuine problems,” Gahlot wrote.
