NEW DELHI: The “desecration” of Red Fort on January 26 this year was a “well thought out, pre-planned conspiracy” orchestrated by the government to break up the farmers’ protests and should be investigated by a Joint Parliamentary Committee, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said in Lok Sabha on Monday.
Replying to the Motion of Thanks to the Presidential address, Chowdhury said, “This was a well thought out, pre-planned conspiracy to break up the farmer movement. The fact is that you have sent some vandals to the Red Fort to create vandalism. Forces within the government are behind it.”
