Since Thursday night, Ghazipur border (Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border) has become the centrestage of the farmers' agitation. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait, who is spearheading the movement, had on Thursday that the agitation wouldn't ened, no matter what. Tension at the border has increased even as the Ghaziabad administration is trying to remove the farmers from the protest site.
Hundreds of farmers gathered at a Muzaffarnagar town on Friday for the 'Mahapanchayat' in support of the BKU-led protest at the Ghazipur border. The farmers at the 'Mahapanchayat' in Muzaffarnagar have decided that they will begin proceeding towards the Ghazipur border to support and strengthen the farmers' movement there.
Leaders such as Yogendra Yadav, the president of the Swaraj Abhiyan party, and Rakesh Tikait are mere opportunists who only aim at challenging the government.
However, the important point is that the Delhi Police has intensified their investigation in the January 26 incident that took place during the farmers' tractor rally. The Forensics team of the Delhi Police went to Ghazipur border and collected the evidence from where the protestors took tractors and went to the Red Fort on the Republic Day.
Meanwhile, the Haryana government has suspended mobile internet services in 17 districts till 5 pm of January 30 (Saturday) in view of the farmers' protest. Mobile internet services were suspended in Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Kaithal, Panipat, Hisar, Jind, Rohtak, Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Fatehabad, Rewari and Sirsa. Internet services were already suspended in Palwal, Sonipat and Jhajjar, and has now been extended.
Whenever a movement deviates from its purpose or is hijacked by anti-social elements, the Opposition takes advantage of such a situation. The agitation has started a "political tourism Part-2" of sorts.
RLD leader Jayant Chaudhary arrived to meet Tikait. Jayant Chaudhary is also a farmer leader. He also made a long speech on Kisan Ekta and Kisan agitation.
On the other hand, as the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh stopped supplying water and electricity to farmers on the Ghazipur border on Thursday to end the agitation, the Delhi government got a new chance to play politics. On Friday, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia went to the Ghazipur border met Tikait and ordered for the restoration of water supply there.
Aam Aadmi Party MLA Satyendar Jain also visited the Singhu border to express solidarity with the farmers.
In New York, a convoy with Khalistani flags was seen on a highway. Anti-India slogans were also raised at a demonstration outside the Indian Consulate in New York on January 26. Khalistani supporters also tried to defame India in US capital Washington DC
In the Italian capital of Rome, Khalistani supporters vandalised the Indian embassy and wrote "Khalistan Zindabad" on the wall. The flag of Khalistan was also hoisted.
We have reiterated several times that the farmers' movement has been hijacked by the Khalistani movement and these instances from the US and Italy are proof of the same.
