Arrest
Seditionists/Anarchists; Evict Protestors on Delhi Borders; Seize Tractors
Modi-led NDA
government has finally acted against erring farmers after giving a long rope.
Of course, only after the mayhem created in the national capital and after the
mayhem on the Red Fort.
Amit Shah, the Home
Minister, has shown the spine to act tough against the agitating farmers unions
violating the agreement reached to conduct tractor rally in peaceful manner on
the three designated routes. Never too late for the Home Ministry to plug all
loop holes on the Indo-Pak and Nepal borders to prevent rogue elements to
escape to safe havens.
As per Media reports,
the Delhi police, acting upon the Home Minister’s directive, have booked almost
all the agitating farmers Unions leaders and framed sedition charges, while
their arrests may follow. This was in the wake of public outcry warning
the Centre that any delay may be construed just as a ploy for dilution and it
bound to result in crisis escalation instead of crisis resolution.
Now, Delhi Police,
who showed utmost restraint and on their part (without looking over their
shoulders), must not only file just charge sheets against all the accused in
the Courts, but seek non-bailable arrest warrants against them. Time is running
out for the Delhi Police to act.
Or else, all these
anarchists/seditionists who are already on the run like Actor Dileep Sidhu and
Gangster turned politician Lakbir Singh
Sidhana alias Lakha Sidhana, President of the Malwa Youth Federation and other
key leaders sponsored by state and non-state across the border may flee the
country to safe havens in Pakistan, Canada, Australia, UK etc.
As of now, some among
them may still seeking refuge in Gurudwaras in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and
Rajasthan and UP. State Police Forces in
close co-operation and collaboration with each other must flush out all those
hiding in safe havens expeditiously lest they become major sources of threat
concerns – ala Bhindrenwala’s.
Why Delhi Police Only? I dare challenge Amarinder
Sigh, the Chief Minister of Punjab, to arrest Actor Deep Sidhu, Lakbir Singh Sidhana,
and Joginder Singh Ugrahan and file charge sheets against them.
Similarly, Manohar Lal Khattar, Chief Minister of Haryana, and Yogi
Adityanath of UP must direct their DGPs to arrest leaders of their respective
farmers groups.
No need to apportion
the blame on intelligence failure later.
Impound all the tractors that were seen charging against
the police personnel on all sites.
Most importantly, it
is also vital to identify the sources of disinformation spread through twitter
handlers and their sleeper cells, partisan fake and fraud visual, print and
social media networks and file chargesheets against them inciting protestors to
indulge in violence and arson.
Furthermore, even
FIRs and charge sheets against the media anchors that have been slyly providing
partisan sound bites must be considered under the “incitement and
abetment”. The roles played by Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, Bhupendra
Chaubey and others must be filed after legal evaluation. No media barons should
be allowed to seek refuge under the “Freedom of Press” label. After all, freedom must be exercised with a
sense of responsibility in pursuit of peace, prosperity and national interests
and security.
Similarly, the
Supreme Court and the Bar Association must initiate suo motto notice against
those lawyers who represented the Farmer’s Groups and assured “Peaceful
Protests”.
The Delhi Police should take a cue from the non-bailable
arrest of poet-activist Varavara Rao, arrested in the case of the
Elgar-Parishad-Maoist link, and others languishing in jails. No pity should be
shown against seditionists like Actor Deep Sidhu and Lakbir Singh Sidhana
alias Lakha Sidhana, gangster-turned-politician and president of the Malwa
Youth Federation.
Most important, impose curfew at the protesting
sites on the Delhi borders and evict all the farmers protesting groups without
fear and favor by respective State police forces.
There is enough
evidence of inciting/instigating and criminal conspiracy that preceded rioting,
violence and attempt to murder covered by visual media showing pre-planned
objective of not following the mutually agreed routes and timings to file the
charge sheets.
If there is delay,
both Modi-led NDA government and the Delhi Police will be seen as spineless and
weak-kneed institutions incapable of maintaining law and order.
No point in claiming
filing of 25 FIRs against Farmer Protest leaders or arresting a handful of
activists who indulged in mayhem.
No point in the BJP
spokespersons blaming Rahul Ghandy for instigating the violence. Instead,
Modi-led NDA government must direct Delhi Police to arrest Rahul Ghandy and
produce him before the Court for judicial verdict. Furthermore, the role of the
AAP needs to be thoroughly investigated and actions initiated.
De facto, names of
all leaders of Farmer’s organization protesting for over 65 days on the
outskirts of Delhi borders are available in public domain. All of the must be
arrested by the Delhi Police.
If the leaders of
protesting groups have fled to their respective states, then the onus of
responsibility for arresting them falls on the concerned States.

The role of protesting
leaders like Kulwant Singh Sandhu, Jamhoori Kisan Sabha, said Nirbhai Singh
Dhudhike, Kirti Kisan Union, Ruldu Singh, Punjab Kisan Union, Balwinder Singh
Aulakh, Majha Kisan Committee, Satnam Singh Behru, Indian Farmer’s Association,
and few others, who condemned the violence and claims to have not crossed the
border, must be investigated and verified before filing FIRs/Charge Sheets.
In sum, enough of
appearing as “Soft State” or “Fledgling Democracy”! Politically, table the
“Bill of Amendments” agreed upon with “Farmer Union Leaders” and pass them on
the first day after tabling of the Budget in the Parliament or send it to the
Select Committee. Anyway, the Tomar, Minister of Agriculture, has already
announced willingness to keep the Laws under suspension ofr 2-years.
Even Modi-led NDA
government must uphold the right of the States to enact their own laws and
implement them since “Agriculture” is a State Subject under the Constitution.
For, sans reforms, the farmers of the confrontationist States would suffer in
times to come under the stranglehold of “Rich Farmers and Atreyas”.
Police must promptly
initiate actions against all the violence provocateurs with utter disregard to
their political status or clout and file the charge sheets in the Courts of
Law.
If considered
absolutely necessary, even the NIA must carry out in depth investigation into
the foreign funding sources and the protesting farmer group recipients and file
charge sheets in designated courts.
Otherwise, violence
eruption, aided and abetted by foreign non-state and state actors is bound to
result in absolute chaos and anarchy.
