It is pertinent to mention that lawlessness has been observed in significant sections of the farmer protests. Apart from vandalizing Jio towers across Punjab, an India Today Editor said that a lot of them were also sexually harassing female reporters and pinching their buttocks.
The protesting farmers have also threatened the Republic Day parade and there are genuine concerns regarding the annual event to be conducted at the national capital. Newly minted farmer leader Yogendra Yadav has played a prominent role in creating such anarchy and others such as Rakesh Tikait have also played their part.
