A day after a clash broke out between protesting farmers and local residents at Singhu border, which resulted in injuries to a senior police official and seven farmers, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday said that farmers acted in self-defence.

Coming out in support of farmers, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said the attack on Alipur SHO Pradeep Paliwal was unfortunate and protesters might have attacked police officials in self-defence.
