Tractor rally- everything was as expected

 

Everything was as expected

 

I was one of the supporters of the agriculture bills from the very beginning. However, I did not oppose the right to protest in a democracy. It was felt that the struggle was being aided by the middlemen who run the mandis in Punjab and the wealthy Punjabis in countries including Canada. Of course, the struggle was fueled by the combination of several neighboring countries that wanted to weaken the country and the united opposition as an opportunity to weaken the ruling party. The forces that want to keep the struggle above the peasants real cause. When the strike went ahead without yielding to the many compromises put forward by the government and the intervention of the Supreme Court, it spread like wildfire to many including on social media.

 

The tractor rally in Delhi was part of that intoxication. The Delhi Police, the Central Government and the protesters knew for sure that the agitation would turn violent . We know the violent history of many freedom struggles, including the Quit India Movement. Gandhiji, the Prophet of non-violence, condemned and stopped such struggles. The Babri Masjid was demolished by a mob. When any agitation escalates, it will be taken over by the vested interests rather than the people in the leadership.

 

That is what happened here too. The flag hoisted at the Red Fort made it clear that this was not a struggle for the needs of the farmers, but a struggle to weaken the country and beat the Center.
