Human rights bodies seek Supreme Court intervention in use of pellet guns against farmers

The Supreme Court has been asked by the Human Rights Bodies to intervene and stop the Central forces and the Haryana Police from using pellet guns against the farmers on their way to Delhi who are protesting.

The Khalra Mission Organisation (KMO), the Punjab Human Rights Organisation (PHRO) and the Human Rights Justice Forum were the parties which approached the Supreme Court.

The Human Rights Organisations from Punjab in a letter to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) demanded its intervention as policemen were using pellet guns against farmers holding a peaceful agitation.

The leaders of the Human Right organisation have alleged that three farmers lost their eyes and several of them were undergoing treatment at various hospitals in Punjab and Chandigarh.

They said the BJP-led Haryana Government through police and Central forces have been introducing neo-liberal capitalist model.
