Thoughts on the Farmers Protests

In this monologue, I want to share my views on the Farmers Protests up to now. In light of what happened on the 26th of January can we have any modicum of sympathy for these protests anymore? Also, what can we say about the actions of the government so far? If maintaining law and order is the responsibility of the state then how do we assess the actions of the government yesterday? How much leeway should protestors get? Is there any good answer to this conundrum?
