BJP leader Anil Vij on Tuesday said that he had not given any order for firing on protesting farmers at the Khanauri border point in February but as he was the state home minister at that time he takes responsibility for the incident.
Vij stated this after farmers stopped his car in village Panjokhara of Ambala Cantonment, where he had gone to campaign for BJP`s Lok Sabha candidate Banto Kataria, and confronted him about the events that took place in February. The farmers told Vij that Shubhkaran Singh from Punjab was killed allegedly in police firing when farmers were protesting at the Khanauri border point in February during their "Delhi Chalo" march.
