Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, facing resistance from farmers protesting the three central agriculture laws, said that political leaders have been patient in the face of protests but it "won't be good for anyone to cross their limit". The warning comes after a clash broke out between anti-farm law protesters camping out at the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border at Ghazipur and the local BJP workers. "The word kisan (farmer) is pure and everyone holds them in high regard. Due to a few unfortunate incidents the word has become tarnished," Khattar said. On reports that political leaders have been facing intense protests by farmers when they visit villages in the state, Khattar said those running the government have a responsibility to meet people.
