On January 29, tension prevailed at #Tikri on Delhi’s border where farmers protesting against the new #farmlaws have been camped for over two months. A mob of at least 100 people had gathered to demand that the protesters be removed from the main Rohtak Road, which they have blocked. They weren’t farmers, the mob claimed, and they had “disrespected” the Indian flag during the Republic Day at the #RedFort. As for the mob, the police labelled them “locals” incensed by the Red Fort violence. The farmers, however, alleged that they were affiliated with the BJP.
Newslaundry’s Anna Priyadarshini spoke with local residents to find out what they knew about the ‘mob’, as also whether they were really upset with the protesting farmers as the police have claimed.
