Country occupied by state-run Taliban: Rakesh Tikait's attack over crackdown

The country has been occupied by state-run Taliban, said Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday, attacking the Haryana government for the lathi charge by police on farmers.

“Yesterday, an officer ordered (policemen) to hit farmers on their heads. They call us Khalistani. If you would call us Khalistani and Pakistani, we would say 'Sarkari Talibani' has occupied the country" said Tikait.
