Farmers reject allegations of blocking oxygen transport to Delhi

NEW DELHI: Farmers protesting at several Delhi borders rejected as “false propaganda” allegations that they were not letting medical oxygen carriers into Delhi, thus putting lives of several COVID patients at risk. BJP MP Parvesh Verma had alleged transportation of medical use oxygen into Delhi was hampered due to blockade caused by protesters. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, a body of farmer unions, said on Wednesday, they have always kept way open for emergency services. “Not a single ambulance or essential goods service has been stopped. It is the government that has put strong and multilayer barricades (nails), not the farmers. Farmers are fighting for human rights and they support every human’s rights,” the morcha said.
