In a shocking revelation, a video has surfaced showing Delhi Police officers warning the Convenor of the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) of the farmers’ protest, Mr. Jai Bhagwan Goyal, also known as the Convenor of the Jantar Mantar protest, before the recent demonstration at the iconic protest site.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows a Delhi Police officer politely yet firmly telling Mr. Goyal that the police had been requesting him to ensure that the crowd size at the protest site is limited to 1,000, as per the permissions granted by the authorities.
Background of the Protest
The Jantar Mantar protest has been going on for months, with thousands of farmers and their families demanding better prices for their produce and the repeal of the three agricultural laws passed by the Central government.
However, the protest has been gaining momentum, and the police have been struggling to maintain law and order at the site. The recent increase in the number of protesters has put a strain on the police resources, leading to concerns about crowd control and public safety.
Mr. Goyal, who has been leading the JCC, has been at the forefront of the protest. He has been negotiating with the government and the police to ensure that the protest remains peaceful and does not cause any inconvenience to the public.
Delhi Police’s Concerns
The Delhi Police officers who appeared in the video expressed their concerns about the crowd size at the protest site. They told Mr. Goyal that they had been requesting him to ensure that the number of protesters does not exceed 1,000, as per the permissions granted by the authorities.
The police officers also expressed their concerns about the safety of the protesters and the public. They told Mr. Goyal that the police had been working hard to maintain law and order at the site, but the increasing number of protesters was putting a strain on their resources.

Implications for Indians
