    Background: Why are farmers at odds with the Central government?
  • Farmers have been protesting against three farm laws, passed in the Parliament in mid-September. They opine these sweeping reforms will leave them at the mercy of big corporate players. To coerce the government to repeal the laws, they have been camping at Delhi's borders since November.

    The government held talks with them, told them it will suspend the laws, but the farmers remained adamant.

  • R-Day parade

    Federal government objected to tractor march, went to SC

  • When farmers said they would organize a tractor march on R-Day, the Centre opposed this idea.

    The government of India approached the Supreme Court, seeking a stay on the rally by arguing that it would embarrass the nation globally.

    The top court put the ball in Delhi Police's court, saying it is not the "first authority" to take a decision in this case.

  • Talks

    Delhi Police also held talks with farmers about rally

  • The Delhi Police held talks with farmers to break the deadlock over holding a tractor march.

    The farmers were apparently suggested to hold their rally outside Delhi, citing security reasons. Rejecting this proposal, they told cops that maintaining peace "is their job."

    Farmers declared they will hold the rally on the Outer Ring Road and will not settle for anything less.

    Farmers have been allowed to enter Delhi for a few kilometers and then leave at identified spots. However, the number of tractors that will participate in the rally hasn't been undecided.

    Delhi Police will provide security cover to the protesters.

    "From Ghazipur border, the rally will go to 56-foot road and return to its originating point passing through Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal Expressway," he added.

    The cop said police from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have also been brought on-board to handle the security/

  • Pakistan factor

    Hundreds of Twitter handles created in Pakistan to disturb rally

  • Meanwhile, as per Pathak, as many as 308 Twitter handles have been created in Pakistan to create confusion and disturb the tractor rally.

    "This input has been accrued from analysis of inputs between January 13 and 18. These points were discussed with the farmer leaders," he added.

    He asserted farmers agreed to terms and conditions "which are binding on the participants in the rally."
