Do you have strong, proven evidence for infiltration? Otherwise this seems like the typical false flag conspiracy we always hear when protests turn violent. The reality is even those acting peacefully are providing cover for those acting violently among their ranks. They also often incite that violent fringe to action, and condone or overlook their actions. Silence is violence, right? And remaining silent on those using violence to achieve political goals - the very definition of terrorism - isn’t acceptable.
- middleclick 6y agoSuch things are typically reported by the media. One of the problems in India though is that the media is completely biased towards the government. The prime minister of the world's largest democracy has held exactly zero press conferences in 6-7 years. When he does, they are incredibly scripted where they ask him if he likes to eat mangoes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dUyQWcn1CA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dUyQWcn1CA). He also does a poor job of answering tough questions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAGAYL8dtic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAGAYL8dtic) so the media interviews he does give are more of a PR stunt for him where the "journalists" praise his qualities and ask him no hard questions. Coming back to your question: the farmers have clearly said they denounce the violence in more than one ways. The other thing that is leading more credence to this theory is how the police treated the people indulging in violence. Evidence from the ground shows that the police shook hands and were generally very respectful towards them. This suggests infiltration.
