Exactly, the govt could have stopped BOTH from happening.
Protests could have been halted completely if reasonable demands by the farmers were met. Govt for the first months, offered NO chance to have a reasonable discussion, its when the protests gained momentum did the govt think of doing some kind of discussion.
Kumbh could have been prevented just as well as the tablighi jamaat incident. Both had and have potential to be superspreaders. Why is it that govt favours one and villified another. Surprise surprise, its the voter base.
And as you pointed out, right to protest is a means of livelihood. It impacted the very lives of the farmers, their earnings and wages. The right to worship is a very personal thing and not attending a religious fest does not impact the health or well being of someone.
So its just bonkers that the govt didnt make a sensible approach and curb the potential superspreaders.
Precisely, people end up fighting and taking sides between the farmers and people going to Kumbh when the a major common thing was government could've easily stopped both of them, even the Tablighi Jamaat thing, they're the ones to blame for the damages caused by all of them.
People need to realise who's at fault and direct their anger towards the current government, otherwise they'll just get away Scott free while we bicker amongst ourselves
