Plain Speak: Ghosts of CAA and Farm Laws Protests Back to Haunt Delhi
News 18At the height of anti-CAA protests, large crowds of Muslim protesters in Chand Bagh area of Delhi attacked the police mercilessly, to the extent that head constable Ratan Lal was killed and Shahdara DCP Amit Sharma sustained serious injuries. During the anti-farm laws blockade, on January 26, India’s Republic Day, large swathes of protesters ran amok on the Red Fort, and again, mercilessly attacked policemen and women. Cut to 2022, after initial violence during a Hanuman Jayanti procession in Delhi’s Jehangir Puri, the family of an accused was emboldened enough to pelt stones even on a police party two days later. You support every illegality, every bravado in the name of protest, every assault on fellow citizens and the law enforcement, accuse the police of bias even before they conduct any investigation, cry victimhood, and then innocently wonder why the police can’t control these elements.
