The Delhi government has given its approval to withdraw 17 cases registered during the farmers' agitation against the three agricultural laws of the Center. In this, a case is also related to the violence at Delhi's Red Fort on 26 January last year. A senior government official said the files relating to the matters sent by the office of Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal to Home Minister Satyendar Jain on January 31 were cleared on Monday after taking the opinion of the Law Department.
Significantly, Delhi Police had decided to withdraw 17 of the 54 cases registered from November 2020 to December 2021. This also includes the case of about 200-300 protesters and 25 tractors reaching the Red Fort through Lahori Gate, due to which ticket counters and security checking equipment were damaged.
Apart from this, a case was registered at Jyoti Nagar police station in North-East Delhi against the farmers who entered Delhi from Loni in Uttar Pradesh on 150-175 tractors. It is alleged that those farmers obstructed the duties of the policemen and attacked them.
Most of the cases are related to violation of Covid-19 rules and guidelines during the one-year-long farmers' agitation against agriculture laws at Singhu, Tikri, and Ghazipur borders in Delhi.
Let us tell you that the agitating farmers had camped on the borders of Delhi in November 2020, demanding the withdrawal of agricultural laws passed by the Parliament. The farmers called off the agitation in December 2021 after the agricultural laws were withdrawn by the Modi government.
The Center had also agreed to the demand of the United Kisan Morcha to withdraw the cases registered against the protesters between November 2020 and December 2021. Violence and vandalism were reported after agitating farmers had entered Delhi during a tractor rally on Republic Day last year.
