Delhi-Chalo March and Zero FIR Controversy
The Delhi-Chalo March, led by farm unions, including demands for a legal guarantee for MSP, faced a pause after the tragic death of 22-year-old Shupkaran Singh allegedly due to firing by Haryana police. The controversy arose when a zero FIR was filed after his cremation, raising questions about effectiveness.

The BJP leaders in Punjab showed support for the farmers in contrast to their previous stance, emphasizing accountability for the incident.
