Tear gas shells being used against the #HistoricTractorMarch at Akshardham, Delhi.
Seems @DelhiPolice is hell bent on making this ugly. They are using the tear gas and the lathis indiscriminately now.

#IndianRepublicBlackDay #HistoricTractorMarch
While Delhi residents wait for the #FarmersRally with flower petals & dhols, Delhi police is firing tear gas shells & dealing in lathi blows.

How much more disconnected can the Modi govt be from the citizens?

Nihangs leading the charge of removing the @DelhiPolice barricades. Nothing seems to stop them.

It’s a matter of grave pride for the Punjabi music industry that @harbhajanmann is participating in today’s protest, in person. He was seen on a tractor with his son.

Farmers have reached the ITO. They just crossed the barricades set outside the @DelhiPolice headquarters.

Dirty tricks being employed by Police. Instead of barricades, a DTC bus. Now Godi media is running the story that protestors are destroying public property.

@ArvindKejriwal should’ve made sure that DTC buses can’t be used in this. Transport is with the state govt.

A section has reached Lal Qila. That’s all they’ve been asking for. They did not come here to vandalize or set things on fire. Their protest is a symbol of resistance & Lal Qila means something to Punjabis.

Read history if you don’t know & understand.

#BharatKaregaDelhiKooch
Farmers have caught a man who broke the window panes of the buses. There were 8-9 other guys with him who escaped. He isn’t part of the farmers protest & seems to have been planted by the police to create disturbance.

A farmer climbed up an empty post & hoisted ‘Nishan Sahib’, the flag that is hoisted at every Gurdwara.

Let me correct the misinformation spread by Godi channels.

Tricolour wasn’t replaced, it’s still up at the original higher post at the back & this isn’t the Khalistani flag.
This is my last post for today before I take a short break & sleep (it’s 2:25 am here).

It’s important to note who went into the Lal Qila & hoisted the flag. It wasn’t the members of any of the registered farmer unions, but Deep Sidhu & his followers.
I hope & wish for peace & restraint 🙏🏼

Will check back in few hours.
