The group of six students, including girls, had arrived there to render support to the farmers by singing and playing ”dafli” (tambourine), they said.
When the farmer leaders objected to their presence at the site, police sent the students back, DSP Anshu Jain told PTI.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) national spokesperson Rakesh Tikait said the government “wants to break the unity of farmers”. He said farmers are still arriving at the protest site in large numbers and the ongoing agitation against the three new farm laws would be “historic”.
