    #KisanKrantiPadyatra: To stop protesting-farmers, Delhi police uses water-cannons, tear gas

    The Kisan Kranti Padyatra turned violent on Tuesday as Delhi Police used water cannons and tear gas on protesting farmers to stop them from entering the National Capital. Thousands of farmers were stopped at Delhi-UP border by police. The farmers are demanding loan waivers and free electricity. Bharatiya Kisan Union, which organized the padyatra, asked why were they stopped. Here's more about this.

    Do we go to Pakistan or Bangladesh, asks Union President

    Naresh Tikait, the President of the Union, said the rally was going on in a disciplined manner. "If we don't tell our government about our problems then whom do we tell? Do we go to Pakistan or Bangladesh?" he asked. The farmers got support from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who said the farmers must be allowed to enter the capital.

    Heavy security deployed on border, traffic on Sansad Marg closed

    To prevent any untoward incident, prohibitory orders have been issued by Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Pankaj Singh. Meanwhile, in some areas of Delhi-UP border, Section 144 of CrPc has been imposed, and heavy security deployed. The traffic on Sansad Marg has been closed as a result of this protest. Some reports claim police resorted to lathi charge to stop farmers.

    Don't want alms, but our rights, says a farmer

    The march began from Tikait Ghat in Haridwar on September 23, and with time thousands of farmers joined the protest. Scenes of farmers walking or traveling in buses and tractors dotted the Delhi-UP border. A farmer from Meerut claimed they didn't want alms from the government, but their rights. Another asked if Rs. 500 for LPG was correct.

    We support farmers, this government failed them, says Akhilesh Yadav

    "This government has not fulfilled the promises it made to farmers, so it is all but natural that farmers would protest. It is unfortunate and we fully support the farmers," said Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav.
