"A clear glimpse of BJP supporters near PM Modi's car. How can PM Modi question farmers?" the Kisan Ekta Morcha tweeted. It used #StopDefamingPunjab along with the video.
Notably, on January 5 (Wednesday), Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ferozepur in Punjab was cut short amid major "security lapse". Owing to road blockade by some protesters, PM Modi remained stranded on a flyover for 20 minutes. He was scheduled to address a rally and inaugurate several development projects in Ferozepur.A clear glimpse of BJP supporters near PM Modi’s car How can PM Modi question farmers??#StopDefamingPunjab pic.twitter.com/Qilux0tSE0 — Kisan Ekta Morcha (@Kisanektamorcha) January 7, 2022

However, the road blockade prompted Prime Minister Narendra to return to the Bathinda airport to further head towards New Delhi.
Upon his return at the Bathinda airport, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly told officials there that “Apne CM (Charanjit Singh Channi) ko thanks kehna, ki mein Bhatinda airport tak zinda laut paaya.”
However, in the evening, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi called a press conference and denied any security lapse during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Ferozepur on Wednesday. However, at the same time, he expressed regret over the PM’s return from Ferozepur because of road blockade.
Punjab CM Channi said in a democratic country, it was everyone’s right to protest in a peaceful manner, therefore it should not be liked to security breach. “The farmers have been agitating peacefully for the last one year. I’m not going to lathi-charge farmers. We spoke to farmers last night after which they ended their agitation. Today, suddenly some agitators gathered in Ferozepur district,’ Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi said.
