Why Was the Red Fort Left Unguarded When Delhi Was on 'High Alert'?
It is difficult not to conclude that there was, indeed, a deep conspiracy to malign the farmers' movement.

For several years now, a few days prior to Republic Day, a state of âhigh alertâ regarding security threats is invariably declared over the entire city of Delhi. This year too, a âhigh alertâ was proclaimed on January 17, 2021 by the Delhi Police through a circular. According to the above ABP News Bureau report:
âDelhi Police is on high alert regarding the farmer protesters sitting at the borders. Ahead of Republic Day celebration, Delhi Police has posted posters of Khalistan terrorists in all the crowded areas, which they are looking for. The police suspect that these terrorist organizations can carry out a big conspiracy.â (Circulars issued by the Delhi Police in January 2021 are inaccessible; they have not been uploaded on its web portal.)
