Most of so-called farmers don t even know the pros ans cons of the legislations they are opposing. And on media channels dedicated groups of so-called left liberals see another opportunity to attack Modi government after failed crusade against CAA. There is nothing to worry about. we Indian people resort to such events every two-three years with usual lapse of memory of those events. 2021, 2022 may see another agitation on some other topic to continue tradition of PROTEST BY OPPOSITION parties remain in limelight .
