Prime Time With Ravish: On "Crack Farmers' Heads", Haryana Chief Minister's Censure, With Rider

Prime Time With Ravish Kumar - August 30, 2021: Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar today appeared to defend Saturday's police action on protesting farmers in Karnal, but admitted that the "choice of words" by the IAS officer who made the "crack their heads" comment, was "not correct". A video of the Sub Divisional magistrate's instructions to the police to use force on farmers had been widely circulated and evoked outrage. "Although the officer's choice of words was not correct, strictness had to be maintained to ensure law and order situation there was kept under check," Mr Khattar said at a press conference. "If any action has to be taken (against the officer), it would first have to be assessed by the district administration. The DGP (Director General of Police) is also looking into it. To maintain law and order, strictness had to be ensured," he added. (Audio in Hindi)
