In order to avoid any incident like this, we have kept separate barricading for men and women, even the camps here are different, the washroom is also completely different. We keep an eye on everything. Such incidents should not happen anywhere. Our women are sisters if anywomen tells us that they have any problem we take cognizance of that and get into the matter to rectify it," said Tikait.
"After this incident, we have increased the checking, we are tracking everything as who has come from where, We have told the police that if they find any suspicious person, the police can remove them from here," he added.

In connection with the incident of misbehavior with the policemen by the farmers in the Singhu border, Rakesh Tikait says that he (police oficer) will be in civil dress.

On the issue of alleged assault on Delhi Police officers by protestors at Singhu border, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Saturday defended protesting farmers, adding that the intention of the police and government is to instigate farmers.
"They (Police) must have been in civil dress and farmers might have mistaken them for channel people (media) who portray their movement in a bad light. We do not engage in violence. Police and government want to instigate farmers. If they (police) have been visiting the site for days, contact should have been established. They can file FIR, but there should be something to write in it," Tikait told ANI.
