Centre responsible for violence in Delhi: Mah leaders

Mumbai, Jan 26 (UNI) The political leaders in Maharashtra held the central government responsible for the violence that erupted in Delhi during farmers' protest on Tuesday.
Reacting to this, NCP president and former Union Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar said that it was the duty of the central government to maintain law and order and control the situation, but it failed completely.
“For over 60 days, the farmers have been protesting peacefully. They are from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and agitated in a disciplined manner. However, the government did not take them seriously and as their restraint ended the tractor march was taken out,” he said.
While saying nobody would support what happened in the national capital today, Mr Pawar pointed out that the farmers have been repeatedly targetted by the BJP, which has even labelled them as ‘terrorists or anti-nationals’ in past few weeks.
The Shiv Sena termed the violent outcome as a result of ‘intelligence failure’ by the Centre, which ended in a ‘national shame’ for the country on the auspicious Republic Day.
“What was the government doing when the farmers entered the Red Fort…? The whole world has watched something unprecedented… The protests were going on peacefully for two months so what has happened does not augur well for the government or the farmers,” Sena MP and chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut said grimly.
Congress state president and Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat blamed the ‘arrogance’ of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government which led to the violence and the loss of one life this afternoon.
“As the head of the country’s government, the PM did not acknowledge this historic struggle by the farmers… Though what has happened was inappropriate and cannot be supported, the government ignored the demands of the country’s ‘anna-daata’ (food-providers) for so long,” he said.
The peaceful agitation went on but even after the 10 rounds of talks, the government took no decision and instead sought to discredit the farmers as ‘terrorists or Khalistanis’, Mr Thorat pointed out.
