'Exercise maximum restraint': UN rights body cautions on farmers' protest

The UN human rights office called on Indian authorities and farmers to exercise maximum restraint. It said that it is crucial to find ‘equitable solutions’ with due respect to human rights for all. The Office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) made the statement on Twitter. It said that the rights to peaceful assembly and expression should be protected both offline and online. Thousands of farmers have been camping at different Delhi borders for over 70 days. The farmers mostly from Punjab, Haryana demand a complete repeal of the three farm laws. Multiple rounds of talks between govt and farmer unions have remained deadlocked. Protests against farm laws that were enacted in September last year began on November 28.

Guys, why don't you accept that goverment is suppressing the protests. You are so lost in supporting the government that you forget the time when Congress tried to suppress the protest. Let farmer do what they deem they ought to do. None but them are qualified to decide whether it's good for them or bad for them. So shut up and stop becoming conspiracy theorists.

If that's human rights issue then everything should be human rights issue.

Just let me put this in context people who are saying modi is right. The un is wrong, the farmers are wrong the nobel peace prize winner is wrong but an alleged criminal is right ?

[MohinderSingh-sjok]

Godi Media chor, BJP Gaddar, Kachadhari bhadawe (unless RSS support the farmers).
If you want to do better for the country, enforce minimum wages. If nation GDP going down and politicians, 10 people getting richer, that means there is corruption and Government is thug, not for the favour of the nation.
