The Red Fort 'assault' seems to be a premeditated one. Forty unions not a part of Sanyukt Kisaan Morcha, last evening, refuse to follow the agreed pathways for the rally and say they might have their own rally. Next a BJP goon, with numerous pics with Modi and Shah & Celebrity MP from Punjab on the net, arrives and makes an inflammatory speech at one amongst the venues, suggesting that farmers had militant links and were performing at the latter's behest.
The renegade faction this morning starts its parallel rally at 8 am, rather than at noon as agreed with the police and SKM. They reach the Red Fort easily and are in situ (the original Space or place) for the 'assault' at 2:30 pm. En route this parallel rally 'encounters' buses and other vehicles to destroy while media cameras telecast wanton destruction of 'public property' by non-existent SKM rallyists. within the meantime, the paid media interviews leaders from this renegade faction while specifically asking why SKM leaders were untraceable. The SKM rally failed to start till noon and followed the agreed routes during a peaceful and orderly manner that wasn't deliberately covered by the MSM. The SKM rally was seen off by fellow farmers showering flowers on the see-off, something that wasn't recorded by the media for the renegade rally. The renegade rally toppled police barricades and destroying 'public property' and moved to the heavily-guarded Red Fort by 2:30 pm that wasn't possible for SKM rallysist who weren't allowed into Delhi before noon and would have taken for much longer to assemble at the Red Fort. the trail for the 'assault' by renegades was thus clear.
Hordes just stream in while Deep Singh hoists religious Sikh flags (not Khalistani flag) on the minarets and therefore the pole reserved for hoisting the ensign but doesn't touch the flag on top of the fort. The impression sought to be created is that the SKM was no quite a front for the Khalistani movement. the selection of the Red Fort is interesting for its historical claim to being the seat of authority of the Mughals, and by implication, the then GOI. In other words, Khalistanis were challenging the authority of the GOI for an illegitimate cause and deserved to face police brutality for treasonable activity. Needless to feature, the SKM rally disappeared from media screens while all attention was riveted on the Red Fort and spiritual banners atop the Fort.
While all this was on, GOI cut Internet and phone links in areas from where the SKM rally was to originate. That leaves SKM leaders incommunicado while MSM says they're untraceable. This cut also impacts video circulation of comparable rallies and protests by farmers across India. Again, the MSM doesn't cover similar events outside Delhi so viewers remain interrupt from fast-moving events in Delhi. Access to the Red Fort today was easier than going out for a night walk. which was possible provided that GOI agencies planned it at MHA's insistence. The speed at which Internet and voice calls were bring to a halt on Delhi's borders with Haryana and UP shows GOI had planned this well earlier. The Red Fort was always a primary venue for rallyists but fifteen companies (1500 men at arms) of heavily-armed and trained CAPFs inducted from outside Delhi were hardly visible on the approaches to the Fort.
Having traced the chronology of events above, I watched Yogendra Yadav sounding pitifully apologetic about the turn of events. i used to be surprised that neither he nor the leaders of over 400 unions affiliated to SKM failed to anticipate the above course of action by an increasingly desperate Modi sarkar. There was no reason for Yadav to sound apologetic for the actions of a renegade section that wasn't even a part of the SKM. By the evening, the Farmers' IT Cell was effectively putting out facts, that too creditably with none abuse or vitriol, while its global supporters and customary people circulated them at a speed, light years beyond the BJP's IT Cell to react. Lowlifes from the BJP that dotted TV panel debates on all MSM channels at time, spewed venom, just the way that they had called all farmers Khailstanis several weeks back, for there was no other face-saver for his or her Supreme Leader. The narrative spun by the BJP too is coming apart at the seams because the farmers' counter narrative spun out facts that incriminated the BJP's topmost leadership.
At the identical time, it's imperative that the GOI should move for a joint session of Parliament on quarter dayto hunt suspension of the three Farm Acts and refer them to a JPC (with public hearings built-in) for re-examination of their constitutionality and functionality. Re-introduction of those acts for revival must be made again in a very joint sitting of Parliament and after considering the report of the JPC that has to be passed with a vote of three-fourths of all members. The JPC should co-opt agriculture ministers of all major agrarian states as ex-officio members. The jurisdiction of the JPC must be widened to mend base prices for all crops across India, reducing MSP progressively and eliminating it by 2030 in tandem with incentives for crop diversification and rural alternative employment generation, protected contract farming, withdrawal of energy and other subsidies, etc.
Had these measures been taken beforehand, this resistance wouldn't have erupted, even with the constitutionality of those Acts poaching into the State List. for his or her part, farmers should withdraw their agitation. It will be harvest in another two months. The farmers have to return to their fields. Educational institutes will reopen and their kids would must return to high school. No useful purpose is being served by this show of strength, smearing muck and pinning the tail on the donkey games, other than the tremendous human cost upon the farmers, for his part, and beard, Modi must rise because the Sage Prime Minister he pretends to be and call a halt to his rabble brigade and deputy and restore Parliament's vanished prestige. If GST could merit a midnight joint session of Parliament, these Farm Acts carry much higher merit for identical treatment for immediate suspension. If he fails once more, Red Fort would move in Raisina Hill in six months. And Modi will have none in charge barring himself. The country has seen through his party's filth today and therefore the narrative stands squarely against his govt., the severest indictment thus far.
And the foreign media is reporting on this debacle extensively. After the Delhi riots a year back, this can be ominous for Modi Sarkar and for India's global reputation that now's in imminent danger of being recognized as a land. Modi must realize that farmers are the bottom for our manufacturing and services sector too; farmers aren't aliens, they're the maximum amount Indian citizens as he's. it's therefore time that Mr. Modi eliminates the brainless wonders that densely populate his party and government that cloud his perception and tailor it to his strong likes and dislikes. it's also good for Modi to recollect that Punjab may be a state with a powerful militant past. what quantity deeper will India sink into this shit-hole?
