11 months ago, Delhi was witness to the same brand of ‘protests’ that it is seeing today. On that occasion, Delhi Police constable Ratan Lal had lost his life. He was shot by rioters when violence had erupted in Delhi.

Today, we see the same brand of ‘protests’ at the national capital where the Delhi Police is being attacked with swords and lathis. The Delhi Police has been forced to use tear gas shells and its own lathis to get the situation under control. But it does not appear the matter will be resolved anytime soon.

There is increasing concern among the populace that the current spate of ‘protests’ will end in absolute disaster just as the cycle of protests in 2020 by people with a malicious agenda caused immense destruction and devastation to life and property.
