Strangulating entire city, you want to come in now: Supreme Court on farm protests https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/supreme-court-farmers-protest-delhi-road-blockade-jantar-mantar-7545485/
On a petition by farmers’ body Kisan Mahapanchayat seeking permission to hold a satyagraha at Jantar Mantar, Justice Khanwilkar, heading a two-judge Bench, said: “On the one hand you have been strangulating the entire city and blocking highways, and now you want to come inside the city.”
Advocate Ajay Choudhary, appearing for petitioner outfit, said the Mahapanchayat was not part of the protests blocking roads, and that the highways were blocked by police. “We have been detained by police. We want a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar,” he submitted.
The Bench told the counsel that if the outfit was not part of the farmer protest blocking roads, then it should file an affidavit stating so, after which it will take up the plea.
On Thursday, another Bench of the court had pulled up the farm law protesters, saying they cannot block roads perpetually. “Redressal can be through judicial form, agitation or parliamentary debates. But how can highways be blocked, and this happen perpetually? Where does it end?” said Justice S K Kaul, heading a two-judge Bench also comprising Justice M M Sundresh.

Comment of senior journalist NK Singh- The Supreme Court's comment on farmers sitting outside Delhi for ten months shows elitist thinking. The judges do not see the pain of the farmers. They are saying that Delhi is getting choked while Delhi is getting choked for other reasons.
