After the release, farmers who were staging a sit-in outside the Tohana police station in the Fatehabad district, withdrew. Ravi Azad and Vikas Sisar were arrested on June 1 following their demonstration against JJP leader Devendra S Babli. On Saturday, the JJP leader released a video and apologised for his comments. Mamata Banerjee has been very vocal against the farm laws and gave her support to farmers' protest. During the recently-held Bengal assembly elections, Tikait visited the state and campaigned for Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC).
