The farmer leaders will have to surrender their passports. Delhi Police has registered 25 FIRs, including against over 30 farm union leaders, who were involved in talks with Modi govt.
Post-mortem report says the farmer sustained six injuries, including a traumatic injury to the left side of his skull, that led to his death. No bullet injuries found.
Farmers have started returning home in fear of arrests. They are also divided on the hoisting of Nishan Sahib at Red Fort, while others say they had no clue about the Red Fort route.
Bharatiya Kisan Union claims Delhi Police 'wrongly placed' barricades at some places on pre-decided route to misguide farmers, which gave some the opportunity to spur violence.
Hitting out at violence during farmers' protest, LJP chief Chirag Paswan said that crime committed under the garb of agitation by unruly elements was not acceptable at any cost.
The wealthy float above the crisis—insulated in air-purified cars, weekend getaways at farmhouses, and vacations timed perfectly to coincide with Delhi’s worst weeks.

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Have to disagree. Why dont you ask the MPs to amend IPC and remove the sections that deal with “hurting religious sentiments”? The ban on books because islamist mobs will burn stuff or arresting comedians all that come from those provisions. Instead of changing the law, you seem to be asking for the courts to ignore the law of the land. Wrong. Coming to your take on delhi police is also wrong. A political call at the political level was taken to allow the rally despite inputs from the police. It’s a case of damned if you do damned if you don’t. If the rally wasn’t allowed, many would cry hoarse saying democracy and right to protest are being stifled. The union leaders took responsibility for maintaining peace. Book them. The police showed remarkable restraint. All this while, the bjp was alleging that anti social elements have infiltrated into the protest. None listened. Abh bhuktenge hum sab. Ask for stringent punishment for those who were violent and also a wider discussion on ways to protest, availability of public spaces is needed. Pointing fingers at delhi police in this case is just lousy.
you are absolutely right on denial of bail to munawar faruqui.
but you cannot blame delhi police for what was essentially a hooliganism by so called farmers.
Not all Indians are receiving the same justice from the Courts. Whether it is in terms of the time taken to hear and dispose of their cases, or the final outcome, on broadly similar grounds. This is accentuating the basic inequality of lacking the financial means to engage good lawyers. One hopes the honourable apex court will undo the injustice being visited upon Shri Munawar Faruqui.

Munawar Farukqui’s case is another one which shows that we are
fast losing our democratic values.
