Delhi clash: Farmer leaders condemn violence, claim 'anti-social' elements role

Bharatiya Kisan Union spokesperson Rakesh Tikait said on Tuesday said there are people from political parties who are trying to malign the agitation against new farm laws and called upon farmers to maintain discipline.

His remarks came in the wake of reports of violence after farmers did not follow the marked route for their tractor march on Republic Day and forcibly entered central Delhi by removing police barricades.

He said those indulging in violence are not farmers.

"Farmers should maintain discipline and carry out parade on the designated route.

If some people have forgotten the route and entered Delhi, they should reach the site of the protest, “he said.

Earlier, wielding sticks and clubs and holding the tricolour and union flags, tens of thousands of farmers atop tractors broke barriers, clashed with police and entered the city from various points to lay siege to the Red Fort and climb the flagpole on Republic Day on Tuesday.

A protesting farmer died after his tractor overturned at ITO during the farmers’ tractor parade on Tuesday, police said.

Massive security arrangements are being put in place in Delhi and its borders ahead of the Farmers’ march. Massive deployment of police and paramilitary personnel besides multi-layered barricading have taken place to seal the national capital borders at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur to prevent the protesting farmers from entering the city during their scheduled 'Delhi Chalo' march on Tuesday. The police are also using drones to keep a tight vigil at border points, an official said, adding that they are fully prepared to deal with any law-and-order situation.
