You fix nails, we’ll offer flowers: Tikait

“Those who fixed nails for us, we will welcome them with flowers.” In a unique gesture, agitating farmers at Ghazipur border levelled the ground with two tractor trollies of soil at the site where the Delhi Police had laid a row of nails to grow flowers for them. The farmers brought two tractor trollies of soil on Friday and dumped it at the site where the Delhi Police had spiked nails to create a barrier for agitating farmers not to enter the national capital again. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait took a spade to level soil dumped there. Many agitating farmers could not understand what was going on and why their leader was making a soil bed there. “We will plant seedlings to offer flowers to men in Khaki when they use force against us,” Tikait told supporters. “We will continue our agitation peacefully. Greeting them with flowers is our answer to their wall of nails,” he said.
