Further when the tractor rally started proceeding with different route instead of the allotted route map, the rally caused a lot of menace and chaos by breaking the barricades and a lot of damage and destruction was caused to the public property which led to disruptions of law-and-order situation, this further aggravated and caused a violent clash between the people in tractor rally procession and Delhi Police. During this violent clash, several people from the said procession as well as Delhi Police personals were injured.

The petitioners have submitted that clash between police and farmers in Delhi on 26th January has caught global attention bringing shame to the nation. The matter is serious because when the protest was going on peacefully for last two months, suddenly it turned violent on 26th January.

The petitioner (Advocate Vishal Tiwari) has raised following questions for the Consideration of Court.

The National Security and Pubic Interest arises that who is Responsible for creating the Disturbances and how and who turned the peaceful farmer protest into violent movement or how and who created the circumstances which let the protest turn violent.

Is Police Administration responsible for it or for creating Such Circumstances?

Are farmers responsible for breaking the conditions of tractor march and committing violence??

Or, is there some other force which wants to end the peaceful farmer protest by proving them wrong?

Or, are there other forces Organization which in the shade of farmer protest wants to fulfil its ambitions and goals?

The farmers march has created and caused a lot of menace and chaos by breaking the barricades and a lot of damage and destruction was caused to the public property which ultimately led to the destruction.

 Advocate Vineet Jindal contended that the, this further aggravated and caused a violent clash between the people in tractor rally procession and Delhi Police. During this violent clash, several people from the said procession as well as Delhi Police personals were injured.

Hoisting the religious flag at the Red Fort was condemned by Jindal in following manner.

“Hoisting a religious flag, other than our national flag is also against the integrity and unity as laid by the constitution of India. Such activities hurt the secular spirit of the citizens of our country and also account to disgrace of our national flag and constitution of India”

It is further contended that the above acts raise a big question upon the kind of rally that was carried out and also sets a wrong example as the rules and guidelines set by the Delhi Police were openly flaunted.

Both the Lawyers have prayed to the Apex Court to Constitute an Independent Enquiry into the series of the incidences that took place in the farmers tractor march.
