Amid the ongoing farmers’ agitation against farm laws, which witnessed several clashes between the police and protesters, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi on Friday attacked the Centre and said no Government in the world can stop them from fighting the ‘battle of truth’.
“The PM should have remembered that whenever the ego hits the truth, it is defeated. No Government in the world can stop the farmers fighting the battle for truth. The Modi Government has to accept the demands of the farmers and black laws will have to be withdrawn. This is only the beginning”, Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet message.
Earlier in the day, his sister and Congress party’s general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also lashed out at the Centre and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should implement “one nation, one behaviour”, in an apparent jibe at his suggestion for “one nation, one election”.
Since Thursday, thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana have been marching towards the national capital as a part of the ‘Dilli Challo’ march to protest against the three farm laws passed by the Central Government in September. Carrying flags and shouting slogans, farmers gathered at several entry points to enter into Delhi while police blocked them with barricades, batons and tear gas shells.
“To suppress the voice of farmers-they are being drenched in water, roads are being dug up to stop them. But the Government is not ready to show them and tell them where it is written that they have the legal right of MSP. The Prime Minister, who is concerned about one country, one election, should implement one nation, one behaviour,” Priyanka said.
