What happened on Republic Day?
February 7, 2021
Republic Day is when the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 of January. Kisaans had the biggest tractor rally in the world on that day. Delhi police and kisaans had an agreement on what roads they could have their rally on. There were 6 rallies that happened that day. One rally came from Tikri Border and another one came from Singhu Border. Police put barricades and big buses in the middle of the Singhu Borders route, even though Delhi police had an agreement. Then when farmers tried to peacefully remove them, the police fired back with tear gas and hit the protesters with batons. Therefore the farmers fought back to defend but Godi Media changed the story. They made it seem like the farmers started the violence first.
