Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday said he deplored the Republic Day violence in Delhi, especially at the Red Fort, and termed it an insult to the nation as it brought shame to the country and weakened farmers’ agitation. At the same time, he said that he continues to stand with the farmers as the farm laws were “wrong and against India’s federal ethos.”
Stressing that the Red Fort is a symbol of independent India and thousands of Indians had given up their lives for independence and to see the national flag flying atop the fort, Amarinder said Mahatma Gandhi had fought the entire war of independence through non-violence. “My head hangs in shame at what happened on Tuesday in the national capital,” he said.
“Whoever has done it (indulged in violence at Red Fort) has brought shame to the country and Delhi Police should investigate and take action,” he said, adding that the Centre should also probe into the involvement, if any, of any political party or nation, while making sure that no farm leaders are unnecessarily targeted or harassed by the police.
