Farmeri tvrde da vlada sprovodi agrarne reforme na njihovu štetu, kako bi pomogla veleposednike.
Oni protestuju već dva meseca, a sukob je kulminirao tokom proslave 72. godišnjice donošenja ustava.

Obračun demonstranata i policije odigrao se i nedaleko od mesta gde je trebalo da bude održana parada povodom nacionalnog praznika i kojoj je trebalo da prisustvuje državni vrh.

Policija je dozvolila protest traktorima, ali su farmeri došli ranije nego što im je odobreno i nisu poštovali svih 37 uslova koje ima je dala policija, navode indijski mediji.
Oni su probili barikade na ulazu u grad, a sukobi su nastavljeni na gradskim ulicama, preneo je Rojters.

This is at ITO - about 1km from where the parade took place - direct view of India Gate where the parade happened this morning. India’s president was present, entire cabinet was present, parliament was present, & not one cop had firing orders or a gun? pic.twitter.com/keZgYD8ai0 https://t.co/JM2wFAlcJF

Demonstranti su zauzeli Crveno utvrđenje, istorijsko sedište koje je služilo kao kraljevska rezidencija.

Vođa indijske opozicije Rahul Gandi osudio je nerede i pozvao na povlačenje agrarnih zakona zbog kojih farmeri protestuju.
Poljoprivreda u Indiji zapošljava gotovo polovinu od 1,3 milijarde stanovnika, a nezadovoljstvo među oko 150 miliona vlasnika farmi brine vladu Narendre Modija. Vlada i farmeri su održali devet krugova pregovora, a odbijen je predlog vlade da se primena zakona odloži za 18 meseci, piše Rojters.
