Farmers have been protesting in India for 2 months, on the republic day of India there were riots in the capital because of the new agricultural law by the government, Do you think this is the right way to protest?

I strongly believe raising a voice against injustice isn’t any crime, but it needs to be peaceful. The day protest turns violent it isn’t a protest any longer. The protesters must make sure they don’t let anyone create a mess about their peaceful protest.

Wrong, I don’t believe any farmer has this much amount of time and money to sit on this protest. I also have farmers in my house I know how much time they dedicate to their work. This is completely wrong and unacceptable and the government should take strict measures.

Ridiculous is the word. Do you still think this is a farmer’s protest? it is moreover political propaganda that should be ignored. Only a small group of farmers are protesting peacefully in the entire protest.

I’m still with farmers, not protesters, not all protesting are farmers, I’m sure it is more political now rather than just a protest. There is a lot of loss due to the protest. the government should also take note of this and consider doing the needful as per protocols. 

The same question of the protest was put in front of “Raj Tomar” a Political strategist in Delhi said, “there is hardly any protest which doesn’t take a political angle, having said that this protest does have a lot of farmers but at the same time a lot of political parties are associating themselves with the farmers whereas their sole motto is to mock the government for its decision”.

However, “Kumar Kunal” a political strategist at India Today said, “it is unfair to call it propaganda, these are farmers and they need to fight for their rights. I believe these are farmers and just become some goons who tried to disrupt and made it look political, we shouldn’t fall for the trap and rather focus on the real issue”.
