Truth

The controversial video was originally shared online 10 months ago. The original source is unknown but the video is in no way related to the ongoing farmers protest. 

The video surfaced on twitter this past week but social media hoax slayer team found that the video was already shared on certain Facebook groups last year. A Facebook group called FaCe BoOK Ka ChOKIdAr had posted the video on 18th of April 2020 which can be verified by looking at the time stamp of the post.

Another Facebook page which goes by the name बाबा की बातें also has the 10 months old video on their timeline.
