Two farmer unions separated themselves from the ongoing farmer protests at Delhi borders

After unprecedented scenes of chaos and violence in Delhi during the tractor march by farmers on Republic Day, security was tightened around Red Fort, borders in Tikri and Singhu on January 27. Delhi Police Commissioner S N Shrivastava Wednesday said the farmer leaders were also involved in the violence that broke out during the tractor rally on Republic Day, adding that they will be questioned. He also said at least 19 persons have been arrested and 50 detained on charges of rioting. The police have also filed 22 FIRs so far that mention the names of at least 10 farm leaders, including Yogendra Yadav and Rakesh Tikait.



We have the video footage of those who indulged in the violence & we are analyzing them. They are being identified with the help of the face recognition system. They will be arrested and legal action will be taken against them says SN Shrivastava.

394 police personnel sustained injuries in the violence (during the tractor rally on Jan 26) and several of them are still admitted to hospitals. Some of them are admitted to ICU wards Shrivastava added.

Meanwhile, farmers' outfits Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan and Bharatiya Kisan Union (Bhanu) decided to opt out of the agitation a day after the protesting farmers engaged in violent clashes with police on Republic Day.

Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan's VM Singh today said it is pulling out from the protests. Bhartiya Kisan Union (Bhanu) has also withdrawn. "We can't carry forward a protest with someone whose direction is something else. So, I wish them the best but VM Singh and Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan are withdrawing from this protest right away",he said. "The protest will continue until we get MSP guarantee but the protest will not go on in this form with me. We have not come here to get people martyred or beaten up."

Whereas, protesting farmer leaders have postponed their foot march to Parliament on February 1 against the three farm laws in wake of the violence in the national capital during the tractor parade on Republic Day. "On Martyrs' Day, we'll hold public rallies across India on behalf of the farmers' agitation. We will also keep a one-day fast. Our March to the Parliament on February 1 stands postponed for now due to this (Tuesday's violence)" ,said Balbir S Rajewal of Bhartiya Kisan Union said.

The 'Delhi Chalo' farmers' protest at border points of New Delhi has entered the 63rd day today. Thousands of farmers, especially from Punjab and Haryana, are staging a sit-in protest along Delhi borders. The protest started on November 26. The farmers are demanding a complete rollback of the new farm reform laws and a guarantee on the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system being retained. After 11 rounds of negotiations with the central government, the deadlock has not ended yet.
