Incidentally, the image dating to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) era, was not related to any farmer protest, but was linked to a clash in Meerut between members of a banned ‘Sarvadaliya Mahapanchayat’ and security forces.

5000-6000 people had gathered to attend the event but were dispersed by central paramilitary forces and provincial armed constabulary.

As reported here, the tweet which went viral misrepresented a member of a Mahapanchayat as a farmer. It was misused to equate the person in the image to a Kashmiri stone-pelters who have been reckless in their violence against the Indian armed forces.

After being called out on social media Krishnan decided to brazen things out by asserting that her point stood regardless.
