Farmers’ stir: Rahul leads protest outside L-G’ house
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday led the party’s protest in the national capital in support of the agitating farmers and said his party will not relent till the new farm laws are repealed. He was accompanied by AICC (All India Congress Committee) general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other leaders of the Delhi Congress at the protest outside the Delhi LG’s residence as part of the countrywide agitation.
Addressing the gathering, the former Congress chief said that the party will not step back till the time the government repeals these three farm laws.
“These laws are not to help farmers, but to finish them. These laws are aimed at helping corporates like Ambani and Adani instead,” he charged and added, “That is why we are standing in favour of the farmers.”
“The BJP government will have to take these black laws back. Till the time these laws are repealed, Congress will not relent,” he told the protesting Congressmen.
“Earlier, the Narendra Modi government tried to take away the land of farmers when it brought the Land Acquisition Act and Congress stopped them at that time. Now, BJP and their two-three friends are once again attacking the farmers and have brought these three farm laws,” he alleged.
Congress is taking out protest marches at all state capitals in the country and will gherao the Raj Bhavan. The party is also protesting against fuel price hike. It observed the day as Kisan Adhikar Diwas.
