OPINION | With the entry of politicians, farmer leaders now stand at the crossroads

India TV News  

The image of a senior Delhi Police officer bloodied after a sword attack by a protester on Friday at Delhi’s Singhu border has caused nationwide consternation. A similar situation has occurred at Delhi’s Tikri border, where villagers from nearby areas staged protest and demanded that the farmers should leave the area by Sunday, otherwise the locals from 36 villages would retaliate. Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal alleged that BJP was sending its workers in the guise of local villagers to out the farmers from the protest sites. It appears that political leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Sukhbir Singh Badal, are presently more worried compared to the farmer leaders because of the waning support to the farmers’ agitation. It would be better if Rahul Gandhi listened to his own party leader Capt Amrinder Singh’s views on farmers’ agitation, but he seems to have the least inclination to do so.
