While celebrations took place all over the country, thousands of farmers broke into #Delhi's historic #RedFort monument \ud83d\ude9c, despite police barricades and barrages of tear gas. Sikhs can be seen hoisting a Nishan Sahib, a #Sikh religious flag, on a minaret of the Red Fort complex, in the last picture \ud83e\uddd1\ud83c\udffe\ud83c\udf3e.
Tens of thousands of #farmers have camped on the outskirts of the capital since November, protesting against new laws which deregulate #produce market \ud83c\udf3e. Union leaders say the laws will allow private #Indian conglomerates to take over the agriculture industry - the rockbed of the economy - and replace a system of purchases by the government at guaranteed prices.
