Deep Sidhu said the protesters did not go to Delhi to hurt anyone or damage public property.
New Delhi: January 27, 2021 After a day of clashes during a farmers’ tractor protest on Republic Day on Tuesday, the role of a Punjabi actor, Deep Sidhu, has come under scrutiny. The actor-activist, once known to be close to movie star-turned-BJP MP Sunny Deol, was last seen at Red Fort. Farmers have accused him of planting the “Nishan Sahib” or Sikh religious flag at the Red Fort, an act that has provoked outrage, especially on social media. Images of protesters armed with sticks occupying the 400-year-old Mughal monument has drawn criticism even from those who backed the farmers’ agitation.
