I want him to die just like how he killed our children,” said Sangeeta, the mother of the deceased.Meanwhile, the father of the deceased children said, “Javed had borrowed money earlier too, 2-3 months back. This time too, he asked for money, took our kids to the roof, and killed them. He didn’t spare the younger child too. When our other child complained to us, he ran away. His shop used to be filled with gamblers. We want to know who is behind these murders… We want an interrogation, then an encounter.”

The demand of the women of Sandeshkhali is safety and we will ensure that. I want to request the state police to work without getting afraid and by staying away from the political agenda.

Ahead of the ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest march called by farmers, the security arrangements have been tightened at Singhu border on February 12. Earlier, Delhi Police on Feb 11 imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code in North-East Delhi and at the borders with neighbouring Uttar Pradesh to avoid any untoward incidents and ensure law and order amid the Delhi Farmers protest. Sarvan Singh Pandher, General Secretary of Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, shared details of the demands that the farmers are keeping forward. "We will start from Beas & stay at Fatehgarh Sahib. Our demands are the same- MSP guarantee law, sugarcane should be joined with C200. When a farmer turns 60 years old, he should be given Rs 10,000 a month. It is unfortunate that the Indian farmer is called anti-national. We are not anti-national, we are the citizens of this country. For 75 years our demands were not heard. We will move peacefully & our objective is that the government listen to our demands."
