Protesting mob enters Red Fort, unfurl the Sikh flag, Terrorist outfit SFJ had demanded Khalistani flag to be hoisted: Details

The protestors have hoisted the flag on Red Fort that appears to be the Sikh Flag. Violence has erupted all across Delhi after the protestors entered from routes that were not permitted by the Delhi Police. Several police personnel have been injured, and there are reports that they tried to run tractors over the police personnel. Video of assaulting one woman police personnel has also emerged. 

There is confusion regarding the flag as many believe it is the flag of Khalistan that was hoisted at the Red Fort. It is pertinent to mention that banned terrorist outfit Sikh For Justice had demanded for the Khalistan flag to be hoisted on Republic Day.

Many believe that it was the Khalistani Flag that was unfurled at the Red Fort. However, even if it is the Sikh Flag as is it is being claimed by some, hoisting it at the Red Fort on Republic makes the Khalistani motivations behind it abundantly clear.

There have been attempts by Khalistani elements to hijack the current protests to further their own agenda. The Government had said the same at the Supreme Court. Later, Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu had said the same.

There is complete anarchy on the streets of the national capital as the Delhi Police failed to prevent the anarchy that was unleashed by the protesting mob.

Watch: So-called farmers deliberately run tractors over police personnel, assault woman officer during tractor rally

Amidst ongoing farmer protests, the so-called farmers have broken all the promises and entered Delhi via unscheduled routes ahead of the allotted time permitted by the Delhi Police. Regular videos are emerging on social media via different news agencies showing the ruckus these protestors are creating. While one group of agitators have reached Lal Quila and India Gate as demanded by the terrorist outfit Sikhs For Justice a week ago, another group has tried to run over police with their tractors.

The outnumbered Delhi police is getting injured and protesters’ are destroying public property across Delhi. In another video published by TOI journalist Raj Shekhar Jha, protestors were spotted assaulting a woman police personnel after cornering her.

In another video, farmers were seen beating police with the national flag. As of now, a group of ‘farmers’ has reached the Red Fort where they have unfurled a flag as demanded by the terror group Sikh For Justice.

Here is how the mob during their tractor rally tried to lynch a policeman, pelt stones

The farmer protesters have broken barricades and have begun attacking the police personnel during the tractor parade. The protesters are using sticks, swords and there are reports that stones are also being pelted at the police.

The Police was forced to lathi-charge in response. Republic TV reported that attempts were made to hit the police with rods as well. Protesters also appear to have attempted to lynch a policeman but fortunately, the policeman was rescued by some others who were present at the spot.

Vehicles have been vandalized during the tractor parade as well. The Police is using tear gas shells to control the mob but is proving to be unsuccessful so far. The farmer protesters have succeeded in reaching the Red Fort and India Gate.

Shocking visuals have emerged from the tractor rally carried out by protesting ‘farmers’ from Punjab. In one of the videos shared by news agency ANI, one of the ‘farmers’ carrying the Indian flag can be seen beating up the police with the same flag.

At around 3 seconds in the video, man wearing blue shirt and white pants carrying the Tricolour can be seen beating up the cops with the same.

In another such visuals, the ‘farmers’ can be seen pelting stones at Delhi Police personnel.

Earlier in the day, the ‘farmers’ breached the security barricades put up by Delhi Police and entered the national capital while unleashing violence on the cops. Videos of the ‘farmers’ wielding swords while riding horses have gone viral on social media. As per reports, the farmers have also reached the Red Fort where they plan to unfurl a flag.

Farmers Tractor Rally: Mob break barricade to reach Red Fort and India Gate, just what Khalistani terror outfit had called for

Thousands of farmers breached barricades and proceeded towards Delhi amid huge police presence as they kicked off their tractor rally on Republic Day. Chaos was unleashed on the streets leading to the national capital as farmers flouted the designated route and marched towards the Parliament and Red Fort.

The participants of the tractor rally also resorted to vandalism as they ran amok on the highways, attacking the trucks and breaking the barricades that were put up by the Delhi police to control their route. As disorder swept over the city’s borders, protesters were baton-charged and tear-gassed by the policemen on duty.

The upheaval was primarily caused after the protesters who were allowed to hold the “Kisaan Parade” between 12 to 5 PM, started the march much before the allotted time and veered away from the agreed-upon routes. The security personnel had tried in vain to convince the farmers to stick to the plan of holding the tractor parade after the conclusion of the Republic Day parade at Rajpath. But, their requests fell on deaf ears as the protesters ran riot, breaking barricades and vandalising vehicles on their way.

Protesters break barricades and unleash chaos along the borders in Delhi

A group of protesters at Karnal bypass broke police barricading to enter Delhi as farmers tractor rally is underway in the national capital Farm laws. Another mob of protesters removed barricades at Muberka Chowk. Similar scenes were witnessed at the Delhi-Meerut Expressway near Pandav Nagar where protesters broke the police barricading.

An unruly mob of demonstrators opposing the newly introduced Farm Bills crossed ITO in Delhi and would soon be reaching the Parliament. It is pertinent to note that this was not the designated route finalised by the farmers’ union and Delhi Police personnel.

Several vehicles were vandalised by the demonstrators on their march in Delhi. A DTC bus was also vandalised by the demonstrators at the ITO area.

Farmer tractor rally defies agreed-upon route to reach Red Fort and India Gate

Defying agreed-upon route, a batch of protesters have reached the Red Fort in Delhi. It must be noted that the route decided by the Delhi Police for allowing the demonstrators a peaceful march on the Republic Day did not involve the route to Red Fort. In fact, it was banned SFJ’s call for the protesters to march towards the Red Fort.

SFJ had also announced a cash reward of USD 2,50,000 for hoisting the Khalistan flag on January 26 at the India Gate on Republic Day. Meanwhile, the Government of India has blocked the website shared by Khalistani group Sikhs for Justice in a letter to farmers protesting against Centre’s agriculture laws.

Interestingly, the farmers during the tractor rally are also approaching the India Gate, just as Sikhs for Justice had wanted.

Besides, the Pro-Khalistani secessionist outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) had also urged the protesters to display life-size portraits of secessionist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and Beant Singh – Indira Gandhi’s assassin – during the tractor rally on January 26 in Delhi.

The route map of farmers’ tractor rally on Republic Day was finalised on Sunday after the Delhi Police formally gave permission for the Kisan tractor rally to be held on January 26. The police had made special security arrangements and set the terms for the farmers’ rally. However, the protesters disobeyed the terms for the tractor rally and flouted the defined routes.

As it was in 2020, so shall it be in 2021? After Constable Ratan Lal was shot by rioters last year, ‘protesters’ use swords against Police: Details

The farmer protesters in Delhi have taken to using swords against the Delhi Police. Violence has been underway at the proposed ‘tractor parade’ after the protesters defied the routes they had received permission for from the authorities.

Videos have surfaced that show protesters wielding their swords during the tractor parade and defying the law enforcement authorities. Some are also on horsebacks with a sword in their hands.

There are videos going viral that demonstrate how precarious the situation is at the national capital.

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.

Pakistanis spew venom, cheer violence by farmers’ on India’s Republic Day

Pakistani Twitter users were busy spewing venom against India, especially Indian Army as they cheered violence unleashed by sword-wielding ‘farmers’ in Delhi on Republic Day.

Some Pakistanis also tried to further the separatist Khalistani agenda.

The protesting ‘farmers’ took to violence and attacked Delhi Police as they broke barricades and entered Delhi ahead of scheduled time. They even strayed from the route agreed upon and headed towards the Red Fort. Earlier there were reports which suggested they wanted to unfurl a flag at the Red Fort. However, they had denied such claims back then.

Meanwhile, the Pakistanis continued to spew hatred and venom against India, especially the Indian Army.

Some even threatened to wipe out India from the map.

Pakistan’s ruling party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf also joined in to call Republic Day a ‘black day’ and used it to further the propaganda against Balakot air strikes.

Further, Pakistanis also indulged in spreading falsehoods that the Indian government was planning ‘false flag operations’ to crack down on protesting ‘farmers’.

Meanwhile, in India, the ‘farmers’ have started their march towards the Red Fort after unleashing violence on Delhi Police and breaking barricades.

‘Farmer’ tractor rally: Watch how mobs wielded swords, attacked buses and indulged in rampant violence in Delhi

The anti-farm law agitation, which began in November last year, reached its zenith on the occasion of India’s 71st Republic Day. When the protestors announced their plans to conduct a massive tractor rally and march to the National Capital to protest against the historic farm laws, aspersions were cast about the possibility of violence and destruction.

The worst fears came alive on Tuesday morning when ‘protestors’ from Punjab unleashed mayhem on the streets of Delhi. In a video shared by news agency ANI, two such protestors were seen laying siege on a police water cannon vehicle in Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar in the national Capital. The vehicle was gheraoed by protestors from all sides, who have been marching both on foot as well as tractor from the Singhu border. While others blocked the passage of the vehicle, the duo stood atop the vehicle in jubilation.

The Delhi police soon clamped down on the demonstrators, following the scuffle at the Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar. In order to restore the law and order situation, the cops resorted to firing tear gas shells to disperse the unruly mob. A video shared by ANI showed a large mass of smoke rising to the sky after the police unleashed tear gas in the crowd.

‘Farmers’ pelt shells at cops at Ghazipur border

In a video posted by Navbharat Times, the so-called farmers were seen pelting shells at the cops after they used tear gas shells to pacify the situation. The incident took place at the Ghazipur border after protestors tried to breach security barricades and forcibly make their way to the National Capital.

‘Protestors’ attack Delhi police personnel with swords

In a shocking incident, an anti-farm law protestor was seen brandishing his sword and attempting to inflict severe injuries at police personnel. While the cops used sticks to defend themselves against the onslaught of violence, an aged ‘farmer’ pulled out his sword to attack a police official. Following the intervention of other protestors, the ‘farmer’ was forced to retreat.

In another video that has now come to light, a protestor was seen wielding his sword while riding a horse at the Singhu border. The ‘farmer’ on his horseback attempted to scare police personnel, standing beside a barricade, by wielding it in his direction. At the last minute, the protestor had a change of mind and he rode away without injuring the cop.

Farmer tractor rally: Anti-farm law protestors resort to vandalism

In a video uploaded by Sudarshan news, one so-called ‘farmer’ was seen vandalising a truck. The protestor, wielding a stick in his hand, destroyed the glasspane of a truck that was parked on the road as a mark of protest against the historic farm laws. “An attempt to disrupt the law and order situation in the National Capital. Rioters unleash havoc under the pretext of being farmers. They not only destroyed the vehicles of Delhi Police but also also targeting trucks belonging to poor drivers,” the tweet by Sudarshan News read.

In another video, protestors from Punjab were spotted vandalising a bus belonging to the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) at ITO, Delhi. Armed with sticks and rods, the ‘farmers’ also tried to physically overturn the bus to protest against the farm laws on the occasion of India’s 71st Republic Day.

‘Farmers’ during tractor rally break barricades to intrude into Delhi

In visuals shared by ANI, protestors were seen trying to enter Delhi through the Karnal bypass. In a desperate attempt to reach the National Capital and take the government to ransom, the so-called farmers were seen attempting to break the police barricades with sticks and rods.

Earlier, protesting ‘farmers’ from Punjab broke the police barricades at Tikri and Singhu borders ahead of the tractor rally. As seen in visuals, the ‘protesting farmers’ not only broke barricades but also jumped over the barrier to enter Delhi.

It must be mentioned that the Delhi Police had earlier granted permission to the anti-farm law protesters to conduct a tractor parade at the national capital on the occasion of Republic Day. Dependra Pathak, Special CP, Intelligence, Delhi Police informed that the rally will enter Delhi from Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders and return to its originating points.

Threats of violence by Khalistani terror outfit SFJ

In a recent phone call to the control room of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Khalistani terrorist organization Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) had warned of violence. As per reports, the phone call was made on behalf of designated terrorists and SJF Chief Gurparwant Singh Pannu. In a bid to intimidate the Centre to further its sinister agenda, the Khalistani terror outfit said that the government would be responsible for any outbreak of violence on Republic Day.

Besides the threat call, SFJ terror group has also asked anti-farm law protestors to display large portraits of Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and Beant Singh, the assassin of PM Indira Gandhi. In a video provoking Sikhs to disrupt peace on Republic Day, Gurparwant Singh Pannu provoked farmers from Punjab to cut the electricity supply to Delhi on January 25 and 26. Pannu provoked the farmers to destroy the grids owned by BSES Rajdhani Power Limited and BSES Yamuna Power Limited, which provide electricity to the Delhi region.

On January 11, SFJ had released an incriminating videoon its YouTube channel to provoke Sikh individuals living in India. Pannu had asked the Sikh youth to hoist the Khalistani flag and ‘remove and crush’ the Indian flag India Gate as well as from every corner in Delhi.

Squadron Leader Vivek Gairola bestowed with Vayu Sena Medal (Gallantry) for the safe recovery of Su-30MKI fighter plane

Ahead of the Republic Day, the Government of India announced a list of defence personnel chosen for awards for their exceptional achievement in a particular field/discipline, gallantry and bravery. Squadron Leader Vivek Gairola is among those who have been conferred with Vayu Sena Medal(Gallantry) for safely bringing out his Su-30MKI fighter plane from a critical situation during mid-air refuelling and landing it back safely during a mission in June last year.

Gairola, a Four Aircraft Leader and trainer captain with nine hundred hours of accident/incident free flying, is on the posted strength of a front line Su-30 MKI squadron. Last June, Gairola was authorised to fly Night Air to Air refuelling sortie during which the refuelling drogue went below the aircraft nose. The aircraft immediately experienced a strong pitch-up and longitudinal oscillations along with associated Fly By Wire(FBW) failure warnings.

However, unfazed by the daunting challenge, Gairola displayed excellent flying skills, decision-making ability, crew resource management and courage in the safe recovery of the aircraft. For this exceptional act of courage and bravery, Gairola has been awarded Vayu Sena Medal (Gallantry).

The citation to Gairola’s Vayu Sena Medal read: “Sqn Ldr Vivek Gairola controlled the aircraft and continued to fall back to the astern position thus steering clear of the FRA (Refueller) and other fighter aircraft in close vicinity. Displaying composure in face of a critical emergency, he decided to divert to the nearest airbase and took correct subsequent actions to rule out other system failures. During the recovery, he delegated the duties of Radio Telephony (R/T) and throttle management to the Weapon System Operator (WSO) as both his hands were required to overcome the strong stick forces.”

It further stated, “With great human effort and skill he flew the aircraft by night, avoiding disorientation and executed a safe landing. Despite the difficult situation, Sqn Ldr Vivek Gairola was able to correctly identify the indications of a critical emergency, assess the options available and take timely corrective action thus saving precious combat asset.”

Bihar: All officers who fired at devotees in Munger reinstated. Here is what CISF internal report says

Months after the Bihar police resorted to brutality on a Durga idol Visarjan procession, all the suspended officers have been reinstated back in service, reported Dainik Bhaskar. During the infamous Munger incident on October 26 last year, several people were injured and a young man by the name of Anurag Poddar was mercilessly killed when police opened fire on devotees.

As per reports, the Election Commission had earlier ordered the removal of Lipi Singh as the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Munger. However, she has now been appointed as the Saharsa SP. Similarly, the then-District Magistrate Rajesh Meena has been appointed as the Registrar in the Cooperative Department. At the same time, police chief (Qasim Bazar station) Shailesh Kumar has been transferred to Naugachia police station.

The Bihar government had earlier ordered a large scale transfer of IAS and IPS officers. Twelve districts magistrates (DM) along with 13 superintendents of police (SP) have been changed in a late-night notification.  At the same time, the then Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Manu Maharaj has ordered the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The incumbent DIG Shafiul Haq informed that the viral video of police brutality is being investigated and that appropriate action will be taken against the accused.

What does the CISF report say?

Although former Munger SP Lipi Singh had initially denied any instance of firing, the CISF report made it clear in their internal report that the police and the CISF had open fired at the devotees. As per the report, a scuffle broke out between the police and the devotees during the Durga Visarjan procession, which later culminated into stone-pelting. The CISF report claimed that the police fired shots at the devotees to control the crowd, following which the 20 CISF personnel also fired 13 rounds.

Inquiry report of Magadh Commissioner, no compensation for victim’s family

The Election Commission had sent Magadh range Commissioner, Asangma Chua Awo, to Munger to investigate the case and submit a report on the findings in 7 days. Asangma had visited Munger and interrogated the locals and the security personnel. Dainik Bhaskar reported that the inquiry report has been submitted to the Election Commission but has not been made public as of yet. Citing sources, the Hindi daily stated that the Magadh range Commissioner has accused Munger SP Lipi Singh and DM Rajesh Meena of reaching the crime spot late by at least 1 hour.

Amarnath Poddar, the father of deceased Anurag, informed that they are yet to receive any compensation from the Bihar government. This is despite the fact that he had identified one accused, named Sushil Kumar, who is the OP-in-charge of Vasudevpur. According to him, instead of naming Kumar in the First Information Report, the police lodged a case against unidentified people. Meanwhile, the villagers and the relatives of the victim have accused the Bihar police of shielding the accused and brushing the case under the carpet.

Death of Anurag Poddar

Lipi Singh had earned the title ‘General Dyer’ after the Munger firing. People associated with the Durga Puja Committee claimed that Singh oversaw the beatings meted out to the devotees involved in immersion. The idol of Durga Mata was lying deserted on the road that night.

A young man named Anurag Poddar was killed in the firing that night after police crackdown against the devotees. An FIR was filed in this case against the policemen based on the statement given by Anurag Poddar’s father. In his complaint, Anurag’s father blamed the police firing as the reason for his son’s death.

Ahead of the assembly state elections in the state, Bihar was shaken with a horrifying episode of violence when the police personnel mercilessly attacked Durga Procession devotees in the Munger district. The devotees were charged with batons and shots were fired at them, claiming the life of one 18-year-old Hindu boy.
