Boom Live03 Dec, 2020News

A 2017 image of Jat women protesters in Rohtak, Haryana, has resurfaced with claims that it is from the ongoing farmers' protest where women from Rajasthan have expressed solidarity. The image is viral in the backdrop of several narratives which state that the farmers' agitation has been driven by a Khalistani agenda; this is based on videos of men who can be heard citing former prime minister Indira Gandhi's assassination in a bid to threaten PM Modi. The image shows several women atop a tractor being driven by a woman. The photograph has been mischievously cropped to remove the Indian flag attached in front of the tractor. It has been doing the rounds on Twitter, with the caption, "Ladies from Rajasthan for #FarmersProtest Now define the limit of ਖਾਲਿਸਤਾਨ #GodiMedia" (Archive)
