As clashes broke out between farmers and the Delhi police during the tractor rally making the peaceful protests a one vandalism and anarchy , Congress leader and former party president Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter, appealing to people to calm down and not resort to violence.
The Congress leader tweeted in hindi , “Violence is not the solution to any problem. Irrespective of who gets hurt, it’s the country which will suffer.”
हिंसा किसी समस्या का हल नहीं है। चोट किसी को भी लगे, नुक़सान हमारे देश का ही होगा।
देशहित के लिए कृषि-विरोधी क़ानून वापस लो!

Another senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, too expressed dismay over the violence in his tweet as he wrote, Most unfortunate. I have supported the farmers’ protests from the start but I cannot condone lawlessness. And on #RepublicDay no flag but the sacred tiranga should fly aloft the Red Fort.
