police in the Indian capital Delhi, have clashed with protesting farmers after tens of thousands converged on the city to express anger over agricultural reforms.

The mass demonstrations turned violent after protesters broke through police barricades.

Farmers, further reforms to the agriculture industry will damage their livelihoods is the biggest protest yet and it came during India's Republic Day celebrations.

BBC's India correspondent You get the LeMay reports Ah bus that was used as a roadblock being pushed aside, barricades being broken.

Hundreds of thousands of farmers marched into Delhi on Tuesday from neighboring states.

Ah planned protest, but it deviated from the roots.

It was allowed all finally reaching the Red fault ah, place of great political on historical significance in India, police fired rounds of tear gas and in some places led a battle charge at the heart of this protest.

New agricultural laws passed by the government in September last year.

Prime Minister Modi will have to take back these black laws, Ah Farmer told BBC.

Hindi protesters fear the changes will open them to exploitation by private companies and have been demonstrating against them for months now, not far from the chaos and anger through the order on pomp of India's Republic Day celebrations, an annual parade displaying the country's military might on cultural diversity.

Attended by India's top leadership for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, three ongoing protests are the biggest challenge he's faced since he came to power in 2000 and 14.

He says the new laws will reform agriculture on help farmers, but for the first time in nearly seven years his government has been forced to negotiate with protesters.

Several rounds of talks have been held with no result on these images.

Show how hard it will be to find a resolution.

Earlier, this bit of Exa, who is general secretary of the K SCC, a pan Indian umbrella group comprising some 250 farmers organizations we see patients is the shield and the sword that the farmers are using in this agitation.

For some reason, the government is pushing the farmers hard to lose patients.

What happened today was not part of the plan.

Uh, there is a committee which manages but there as I said, 500 organizations and something went out of circuit today, it shouldn't have happened.

We will have toe have deepened, deliberate discussions.

But I think to put the blame entirely on the farmers organizations, having committed violence and arson.

And there are many other objectives going around is harsh and one sided way we can see the images for ourselves and the clearly are violent protests taking place amidst a global pandemic.

When it's dangerous for people to gather in these sorts of numbers, it puts pressure on the police.

You know that the Republic Day celebrations were organized to try and minimize the numbers off the streets in Delhi, the farmers have bean sitting in protest for 60 days now, exactly 60 days.

Uh, more than a few 100,000 farmers are at the borders of Delhi.

We always I was the one who wrote a letter to the police chief asking for a place to protest inside daily.

The police refused as far back as 26 November.

So what options do farmers organizations really have at this point, we don't enjoy being at the borders of Delhi sitting on the highway.

There is a place called Boat Club in Delhi which can accommodate protests off this sites.

We specifically asked for both club and the other one is Ramli Llamada.

Both were refused for reasons which are bizarre I can't understand it.

So the police do not want the media to be ableto capture images off the protest within daily and have not been wanting for the last 60 days.

Are you going to make sure that that that that you know whether this violence was organized in advance or whether it just simply spiraled out of control, that that is not gonna happen again?

Are you in a position to control people now?

But we meet, we meet in the general body.

What happened today I repeat was not planned was not should not have happened.

But now that it happened, we must go back to the drawing board and ensure that the farmers protests continue to remain peaceful.
