Kangana Ranaut despondent at Republic Day violence; Says 'I couldn't protect the nation'

Kangana Ranaut took to her Twitter handle and called herself a 'failure' after witnessing the violence in the capital city on January 26, Republic Day. Expressing disappointment and helplessness, Kangana said that her 'head hangs in shame' because she failed to 'protect the integrity' of her nation.

"I did my best to avoid this but I failed.... I may be a spec in the scheme of things but my failure is enormous.... at least it feels like that .... my head hangs in shame. I could not protect the integrity of my nation. I am no one still I am everyone ..and I am a failure today," she wrote. The tractor parade on Tuesday that was to highlight the demands of the farmer unions to repeal the three new agriculture laws turned violent as protesters deviated from routes, attacked police, overturned vehicles and hoisted a religious flag on the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort.

Earlier on January 26, Kangana shared a two-minute video slamming those who supported the farmers' protest and said, "The images coming out of the Red Fort have shaken up the entire nation. Jail everyone that supported this so-called farmers' protest. They should be punished, there should be some repercussions for this." She also criticised Priyanka Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh for supporting the farmers.

This is not a tight slap on @diljitdosanjh face this is what he wanted. He got what he wanted and this nation gave him this on a platter. https://t.co/6TTjxixKe4

CAA is on hold after so much terror I am sure Farmers bill will also be pushed on back burners, we as a democracy have chosen a nationalistic government yet antinationals are winning. Black day for India, please implement these laws asap and make our democracy win @PMOIndia 🙏

Amit Shah meets Delhi police injured in farmers' riot; Yogendra Yadav now plays victim 

Violence at Delhi protest rally 

The protesters were stopped from entering Delhi as the tractor rally began ahead of the time granted for it. The Delhi Police had allowed the tractor rally to take place from noon to 5 PM. However, when the protesters forcefully tried to enter the capital before time, Delhi Police attempted to persuade the farmers to begin the rally as per plan - that is after the conclusion of Republic Day parade. Despite a request by the Police, protesters on foot and on tractors with national flags and flags of farmers' union marched towards Delhi, raising slogans and vandalising the barricades and other barriers. Even after clear instruction, that no flags except the Tricolour will be used, the farmers not only put flags of the unions but also marched with flags on bikes. Shocking visuals showed the farmers climbing atop Red Fort and planting a flag that wasn't the Tricolour.
