There are lots of emotion outburst on TL, ranging from disappointment to backlashe PM Modi & govt for repealing farm laws. That's nonetheless affirm the expectation from the same govt.
The apprehension are obvious for setting the wrong precedence about other decisive move like Article 370/35A, CAA and so kneeling down to violent street veto. TV debate penalist to prominent pro-govt handlers are critical about deficiency of the move & also it won't help a bit

Sikh fundamentalist before Farmer Protest that stamped a worst memory of Singhu border killing? The entire new brigade of young urban naxal experimented Shaheen Bagh quite successfully however at cost of exposing themselves & international funding network.

Some journos to new poltical alliances like AAP & TMC are creating nuisance every now and then. And all these elements & opportunities exploited by opposition led by INC. Note that Rahul Gandhi visited London just couple of weeks back when Khalistan referendum was going on!

As NSA Doval explained that the "civil societies are new frontier of war, can be manipulated". The psyche and misinformation war is at peak. Again, let's agree that Modi regime has stone the beehive of this well established anti-nationalist gang. Many are behind the bars.

Their finance network through various routes, including NGOs have been distributed. Jungle naxals are almost suppressed. Terrorist orgs & activities are quite under control. Industrial corruption is been dropped. India doesn't pay heed to now white supremacist USA or UK.

Nonetheless these protest like Shaheen Bagh & Singhu Border have unmasked many within & outside country. Let's give it a thought that these all comprehensive developments are hurting many a lot beyond comprehension. IT IS A DO OR DIE SITUATION FOR THEM.

While these movements are known to public domain, there have been many other security related details which must be limited to security agencies. There has been hardly any significant movement in farmer protest in last few weeks despite that govt decided to repel it.

There must have been compelling reasons to do so despite knowing this disappointment from supporters & perceived victory by opposition, that too in such election season. At last, let's agree neither as observer nor these political analysts have access of those critical

In any case, in a democracy every reform comes with huge price, this is not going to be an exception, at least with this regime. Politics is chessboard, at times a pawn has to be compromised to save the Queen.
Farm laws repealed. Quicks:

Hold your wild horses before concluding that some VirDas types made an impact on US Travel Advisory to India to Level2. While ThePrint, NDTV writing catchy headlines with "r@pe", the prominent citation in the updated advisory is the civil situation at J&K & Naxal hit areas.. 1/

As matter of fact, these guidelines keep changing every few months and this is NOT the first time India kept on Level2. 3/
