The ongoing farmer’s protests took a turn for the worst when Arun Bankar, secretary of Maharashtra State Kisan Mahasabha who called himself a revolutionary since his student days, publicly threatened to blow up the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur and kill RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat if the Modi government did repeal the farm bills.
If that was not enough, Bankar declared that either PM Modi should withdraw the farm acts or he must commit suicide. The video of his speech has now gone viral on the internet.

Bankar also challenged the government if it had the courage to fire bullets on farmers which have not been the case because there has not been even the slightest initiation of violence on the part of Modi government.
Following his hate speech, a complaint has been lodged against Arun Bankar in the Betul Kotwali. An FIR has been lodged under Section 505, 506 after a complaint by BJP District President Babla Aditya Shukla.
The historic farm laws which most states and farmers have welcomed has not only become a political issue but it has started to take the shape of a threat to national security with several groups threatening violence and issuing death threats to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Already, several cell towers in Punjab have been damaged or destroyed by protesters along with professional agitators.
Leaders of political parties such as Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party are rubbing shoulders with people who are issuing death threats to PM Modi. It is ironic when one protester said Modi’s fate will be just like Indira Gandhi who was assassinated by her Sikh Bodyguards in October 1984 due to operation blue star and the subsequent assassination led to the Sikh pogrom of 1984 Delhi riots.
If that is not enough, the ugly head of the Khalistani movement has reared and many pro-Khalistani elements have now hijacked the farmer protests.
