100 DAYS OF FARMERS' PROTESTS
6th of March 2021 marked 100 days of the Farmers Protests. However, as protests changed in size & shape, a lot happened in these 100 days. While many unions stood strong, many also withdrew support after the Republic Day Tractor Rally where the 'nishan sahib' flag  (a religious flag) was hoisted at the Red Fort. Through all this, farmers  remained united in demanding a repeal of the farm laws. However, there were also disagreements amidst the leaders with respect to how the demands must be approached. Many said that they would like to talk to the government. Many media reports also said that the unions won't talk till harassment at the borders stopped. Despite repeated negotiations with the government, and the government offering to withdraw the laws for 1.5 years, no conclusion came to the fore. This is a live show that aired on March 6, 2021. I handled the live production for this show along with my team at The Mojo Story. Anchored by my editor at The Mojo Story, Barkha Dutt.
