The government will talk to farmers again today, Sukhbir Singh said, 40 farmers were among who had died, are from the Akali Dal

The movement of farmers against the new agricultural laws of the central government has been going on for more than a month. The eighth round of talks between the government and the protesting farmers’ organization is scheduled for Friday. Before that, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday claimed that 40 of the 54 farmers killed during protests in Delhi were from party cadres.

In a conversation with The Indian Express, Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal said that his party workers are actively participating in this movement. In this movement we are protesting not as an Akali Dal worker but as a farmer. He said that 65 election incharge of the party are in Delhi. Sukhbir Singh said, “Our youth Akali Dal workers have built a tent city on the borders. Many of them are party officials at the block and village level.

On Sukhbir Singh Badal’s statement, BKU (Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokarikalan said, “It is also a big news for me that 40 farmers who killed were from Shiromani Akali Dal. Some farmers may be voters of a particular party but you cannot call voters cadres. ”

Kokarikalan said that all the farmer unions are trying to distance themselves from any political party. Kokarikalan said that political parties are here in compulsion to save their vote bank. He said, “If the political parties are concerned about the farmers, then why don’t they organize a separate dharna on any border of Delhi and see how much support they get.”

A day before their eighth round of talks, the government and the protesting peasant organizations stuck to their stand. The protesting farmers held tractor rallies demanding their withdrawal of the three new agricultural laws, while the Center insisted that it was ready to consider every proposal except to withdraw these laws.

Both sides are trying to overcome the deadlock. Meanwhile, there are also rumors that some states are being allowed to move out of the purview of the Central Agricultural Laws, but the farmers’ organizations said that they have not received any such proposal from the government. Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar has denied any such proposal.

The eighth round of talks will be held at Vigyan Bhawan at 2 pm on Friday. The meeting is important after the earlier meeting on January 4 was inconclusive. In the sixth round of talks on December 30, the government had accepted two demands for power subsidy and stubble burning of farmers. There was no success in any earlier talks.

The FIRs were registered against several MLM agents: Mahender Bhardwaj, Simpy Bhardwaj, Vivek Bhardwaj, Ajay Bhardwaj, the late Amit Bhardwaj, and M/s Variable Tech Pte Ltd.

According to News18, allegations prevail that they collected funds worth Rs. 6,600 crore in 2017 in the form of Bitcoins. Moreover, they falsely promised a 10 percent return per month in the form of Bitcoins.

Investors were led to believe they would get higher returns on crypto assets, and the Bitcoins were purportedly taken to be used for Bitcoin mining in Ukraine. However, the promoters cheated the investors.

The promoters concealed the “ill-gotten Bitcoins in obscure online wallets.”

Investigation on Raj Kundra and Other Suspects 

The ED investigation into Raj Kundra revealed that he received 285 Bitcoins from Amit Bhardwaj, the mastermind.

This incident was captured by the CCTV cameras installed on the college campus. The footage shows how Neha was repeatedly stabbed by Fayaz with a knife.

The horrific incident took place at 4:30 pm when the victim completed her first semester exams and was returning.

The accused, Fayaz, belongs to Savadatti taluk in Belagavi district. According to reports by Opindia, Neha and Fayaz were friends during their bachelor days.

However, both Neha’s parents and the college management opposed their friendship. Thus, Neha distanced herself from Fayaz.

Police consider that this stabbing incident occurred due to their strained relationship.

For this reason, Neha was asked by her parents not to even attend college.

What Happened To Neha?

Fayaz confronted Neha when she came to appear for first-semester MCA exams. This escalated into a physical brawl in which Fayaz punched and then stabbed her multiple times. Then he left the scene.

However, some students tried their best and handed the culprit to Vidyanagar police.

Neha was immediately sent to the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) Hospital by the students and college authorities. However, she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
