"Anti-social elements had infiltrated the otherwise peaceful movement. We've always held that peace is our biggest strength and any violation would hurt the movement," the Morcha said in a statement on violence in farmers' Tractor March in Delhi.
"The long struggle for more than 6 months now, and more than 60 days of protest at Delhi borders also seemed to have led to this situation," it said, adding that "We dissociate ourselves from all such elements that have violated our discipline. We appeal strongly to everyone to stick to the route and norms of the Parade, and not indulge in any violent action or anything that taints national symbols and dignity."
"We appeal to everyone to desist from any such acts," the Kisan Morcha said.
