The farmers who marched to Delhi, saying that their aim is not conquering Delhi but the hearts of Indian people, has brought endless shame to the entire nation.
No one can escape from the responsibility of creating chaos and mayhem on the same moments when the country was proudly celebrating her Republic Day.
The administration, frontline politicians and the judiciary are responsible for creating such a situation.
There is no point in justifying the Tuesday violence, saying that it was the manifestation of the frustration and rage of farmers, who have been protesting for more than two months in extreme cold and adverse weather conditions, and downplaying the incident.

A dozen times the government has held talks with the farmers. Each time the talks failed due to the adamance of the farmer unions and their uncompromising stand.

Each time, new proposals came from the government. Finally, the implementation of the controversial agricultural laws was postponed for a year and a half. But the farmers wanted nothing short of repealing the laws, even if the protest go on for years.
This stand may instil a new spirit among farmers to protest further.

But the union leaders leading the struggle must be aware of its practical difficulties and the consequences it will create.

Ending the agitation at a time deemed fit is not as easy as starting an agitation and celebrating for a few days.

When the peasant struggle’s only intention becomes making the Centre bow to pressure, the solution to the issue becomes a distant possibility.
On the day when the nation was supposed to celebrate the Republic Day with a sense of pride, the huge crowd of farmers with tractors gushed into the national capital and for hours literally took law into their own hands.
It was pitiable to see even policemen running to safety.
The farmers’ assurance that the rally would be peaceful became a farce.
After everything was over, the famers’ said they were not part of the chaos and alleged the role of anti-social elements in the violence.

Remember that there is no point in repenting after things go out of hand.
Some peace seekers had earlier sought the court's help in the matter, foreseeing things that would happen.
The court also had dismissed the petition, seeking to prevent the tractor rally. But the Supreme Court allowed the rally on the grounds that democratic rights could not be prevented.
During the rally, one could see the terms and conditions being disobeyed and those who had taken the swords turning religious lunatics.

Despite the fact that the conflict exceeded all limits, the apparent restraint on the part of the Delhi Police is commendable.
If they had also been provoked, the loss of lives would have been more. Except for the fact that one tractor’s misadventure took the life of a farmer, there were no other deaths.

The issue remains unresolved as the unions announce that the strike will continue.
All those who support the farmers’ row should somehow come together to resolve the issue.
Punjab and Haryana should have a greater say in the issue.

Although the law belongs to the centre, it is the responsibility of the states to enforce it. It is noteworthy that some states have already decided not to implement the new agricultural laws

When that is the case, what on earth prevents the organizations that are in the forefront of the peasant struggle from taking a favourable position with their states?

Let us not forget that there are millions of farmers in the country who have never heard of the new law or its provisions.

A closer look reveals that the main obstacle to the solution of the farmers’ problem is the clear politics behind their stir.
