Police allowed the demonstration if farmers waited until after the military parade and kept to a route away from central Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>But the security was breached while Modi and other dignitaries watched tanks and troops pass along the Rajpath boulevard while newly acquired Rafale fighter jets flew overhead.<\/p>\n<p>Modi waved to crowds and was driven back to his residence barely 30 minutes before the fleets of tractors took over the centre.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"60105afa48bc4\">Popular support<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to show the government that we mean business,\u201d said protester Nareesh Singh as he revved up his tractor and drove into a cloud of tear gas.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers&#8217; leaders say they have enough supplies to keep their protest camps going for a year. The leaders said the police had provoked the farmers into violence.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, police replied that they had to act after the farmers broke the conditions for the rally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you attack a peaceful protest, then difficulties for the government will surely increase,\u201d union leader Kawalpreet Singh Pannu told\u00a0<em>AFP<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis won&#8217;t stop here.

road, people on rooftops threw petals on the tractor convoys.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere people cheered and applauded as farmers went past waving Indian flags and blowing horns.<\/p>\n<p>India showcases its military hardware with a parade every year on Republic Day, which marks the adoption of its constitution in 1950.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s ceremonies went ahead despite security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The parade was cut back because of the coronavirus pandemic, with the number of spectators reduced from 125,000 to 25,000.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller farmer demonstrations were held in Mumbai
