'Pak-based ISI proxies may sabotage farmers' stir', warns Intelligence agencies

New Delhi, June 26: Amid the farmers' protest India Intelligence agencies issued a warning against the Pakistan-based Inter-Services Intelligence and alerted the Delhi Police and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) that the agency may sabotage the farmers’ protest.

It should be noted that Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), is holding the morcha today, to mark the completion of seven months of their agitation against the Centre's three new Agri laws. The SKM said the protesting farmers will show black flags during their demonstration and send memorandums to President Ram Nath Kovind through the Governors of each state.

As per the private news agency, intelligence agencies alerted the Delhi Police and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) that Pakistan-based ISI proxies can hijack the farmers’ protest by “instigating the deployed security forces”. India Intelligence agencies have already sent the notice regarding this to Delhi police and other agencies.

Acting on the alert, the Delhi Police have tightened security and made "adequate arrangements". The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Friday (June 25) issued a notification stating that three Yellow Line Metro stations namely, Vishwavidyalaya, Civil Lines, and Vidhan Sabha will remain closed for the public from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday. The step was taken on the suggestion by the Delhi police due to security reasons. Dedicated and sufficient manpower will also be deployed outside Metro stations, the police said.
