Jai Jawan Jai Kisan to Jawan Vs. Kisan: At cross purposes

farmers protest

The ‘Kisan Gantantra Parade‘ in New Delhi on Tuesday, 26 January, that should be a serene demonstration of strength by the protestors challenging the three farm laws by the Central government laws on Republic Day, crumpled down to violence and unrest across some places of the national capital. For 61 days the protestors remained in the field with harmony and limitation which was an incredible achievement that for a very long time. Continuation of protest is more muddled than the building up of a protest.

It requires a long time to build, yet a couple of hours is sufficient to break a movement for a definite cause. At such a point, a great deal of duty lays on the leaders of the movement. Even after 11 rounds of talks with the central government, neither parties could come to a definite conclusion. As a result of which, the farmer leaders decided to go ahead with the ‘Kisan parade’ on the occasion of 72nd Republic Day. After numerous rounds of talks with the Delhi Police, the protestors were permitted to take out the protest under a fixed course.

The leaders of 42 associations under the United Farmers’ Front had made all necessary arrangements for the protest. The Home Ministry had cautioned the security organizations by giving warning, yet the arrangement of security offices stayed low.

No matter what the situation was, violence in any form was not acceptable.

The protestors began to break the blockades. Tear gas shells were fired from the police and lathi-charged however the circumstance didn’t go under control. Not much force was given to the police, in light of the fact that the central government was very much aware of the incident of Mandsaur back in the year 2017. Farmer leaders continued disclosing to the protestors yet the protestors didn’t tune in. The Farmer leaders remained behind and an enormous cluster of protestors arrived at the Red Fort. The police looked very limited and patient, however the protestors were looking savage. Climbing the Red Fort, they raised the flags of Nishan Sahib and United Farmer’s Front. From the Ministry of Home Affairs to the leader of the United Farmer’s Front were seeing the show, an enormous group of protestors had waved a religion flag on the Red Fort.

The basic and clear thing is that the picture of the movement has gone low, numerous good feelings and compassion were attached to the protest yet now its amount has certainly diminished. Leaders of the farmer association should bear the duty regarding this in light of the fact that the protest was called by them, so they ought to have control of the group. It would have been exceptional if the parade had been restricted to a harmony march without making it a ‘power show’. Notwithstanding, aside from their behaviour, the Delhi Police assumed a fair part.

The Ministry of Home Affairs ought to have been set up ahead of time for this, which was done after the episode. Simple giving of warning doesn’t wipe out duty. Protestors’ march was to be held before Parliament on 1 February, however now it is beyond the realm of imagination. On the off chance that this occurs, the leaders of the farmers’ protests should remember the occasion of Capitol Hill of America.

Delhi Police has filed a FIR against 37 farmer leaders including Darshan Pal Singh, Rakesh Tikait Yogendra Yada and Satnam Singh Pannu. The United Farmer’s Front has accused the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Samiti and Deep Siddu. Nobody is prepared to take the responsibility of the unfortunate incident and the blame game has just taken its course.

Whatever occurred, happened wrong. No matter what the situation was, violence in any form was not acceptable. Bloodshed and unrest took over the entire festive spirit of the 72nd Republic Day. While the nation stands united for every talk that brings peaceful solution to any national issue, the same nation highly condemns any such act  to destroy the sanctity of India.
