In USA, Canada,, UK, etc. Protestors have a dedicated ground, park, etc where they can do their protests. Blocking roads, rails is hurting economy and thus it should be a criminal offense
two pillars of "our" democracy seem to have an extraordinary interest in ensuring that this and other violent agitations like this only plays out on the streets, irrespective of whether it has popular support.
It is the threat of targeted violence that is keeping the long suffering aam aadmi and the ordinary law abiding citizenry from protesting.
So much for our unique version of long distance, hands off democracy and the very often unenforced rule of law, in spite of shit talk about fundamental rights by those who ought to know much better and also these guys refuse to keep their idiotic woke mouth's shut, openly wearing their commie ideologies and disruptive agenda on their sleeve
Someone's "fundamental" right to protest cannot override someone else's "fundamental" right to life, security of person, livelihood and free movement. These are the basic and inalienable fundamental rights of any democracy and no maikelal can presume to overide them, be they ever so high and mighty.
why this needless kolaveri about the sacredness of fundamental rights of protest when, in reality, all we have are variously degraded degrees of democracy with the proviso of jiski lathi uski bhains as seen in bengal, kerala, chatthisgarh, dilli, AP, TN and other places
Democracy should, first and foremost, be defined by the duties of the citizens as opposed to the ass backwards approach of the rights of the phata pyjama abdools, ayeshas and the and often forgotten aam aadmi
Two major political mafia families are instrumental in driving this punjab based "farmer's" agitation and no one has yet taken them on
