Farmers’ organizations have blamed Delhi Police for turning the Republic Day tractor rally into a scuffle. The organizations said that the person who hoisted the flag at Red Fort had no connection with the farmers. The organizations will meet today to discuss future plans. The Delhi Police reported the incident to the Union Home Ministry.
Some farmers’ organizations have alleged that the tractor parade, which was part of a protest demanding the repeal of agricultural laws, turned out to be unnatural. The farmers marched on the wrong route due to confusion created by the police. The leaders also made it clear that the organizations had no role in the conflict. Some farmers’ leaders have also accused the BJP of being behind the clashes at Red Fort. The Joint Kisan Morcha (JKM) said in a statement yesterday that the violence was unleashed by external forces and anti-social elements.
Despite the disagreement over the adverse events, the farmers’ organizations will continue to fight for the repeal of the agrarian law. Future plans will be decided by the leaders meeting. The body of a farmer who died yesterday during the strike will be cremated today. Police have registered a case in connection with the clash related to the tractor rally. He has been charged with aggravated assault in the city, vandalizing a police vehicle and vandalizing private vehicles
