The Govt is not planning any mid-night operation against the farmers on protest

Social media is filled with misleading claims related to the ongoing Farmers protest in Delhi against the newly implemented Farmers Bill 2020. Amidst this, a viral video claiming that the Government will deploy Paramilitary Forces at the Singhu Border to carry out a major operation and impose curfew in Punjab and Haryana.

The video shows a man who claims to be Gurcharan Singh Babbar the editor-in-chief of three newspapers, he is seen claiming in the video that the government is planning a big operation against the farmers in the coming days. The way Gurcharan Singh Babbar is speaking in the video clearly indicates that he is trying to incite and mislead farmers. In his video, he said he has information about a top-secret plan of the government that intends to end the farmers protest by arresting the men sitting for the farmers protest.

In the video, Gurcharan Singh Babbar tries to mislead farmers by saying that he has credible sources in the government who have informed him that the government will not take back the new farm laws, therefore, the government has asked security forces to keep a track of how many children, women, elderly and farmer leaders are present at the various Delhi borders including Singhu, Tikri and Gazipur. Drones and other surveillance methods are being used to keep an eye on the protest so that one night the CRPF and BSF jawans are going to attacked the men and arrest them which will stop the ongoing protest. He further adds that during this mid night operation a curfew is going to be implemented in Punjab and Haryana to break the unity among the people.

The caption on the post mentions that

 “This video shows the reality of government who is preparing to carry out an operation against the Singhu Border against the kisaan Andolan, and how much they have planned to crush the Kisan Dharna. Note: Please share this video for Kisan Veeran”
