Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the BJP over its MP Kangana Ranaut’s remarks calling for bringing back the three farm laws and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must clarify whether he is opposed to the comments or is “upto some mischief”.

Rahul asserted that any attempt to revive the farm laws will be met with opposition from the INDIA bloc.

Ranaut on Wednesday withdrew her remarks calling for bringing back the three farm laws and said those were her personal opinions and did not represent the party’s stand. The actor-politician said she must remember that she is not only an artiste but also a BJP member now and her statements should be in line with her party’s policies.

In a video statement, Rahul Gandhi said, “The BJP people keep testing ideas. They ask someone to voice an idea among the people and then they see the reaction. This is what has happened, one of their MPs has talked about reviving the three black farm laws. Modi ji you must clarify, whether you are against this or you are again up to some mischief.”

“Will the three farm laws be revived or not? If you do so, I guarantee you that the INDIA bloc will together stand against it. 700 people were martyred, they must be remembered and respected,” the former Congress chief said.

“Modi ji had not allowed two minutes silence for them, we will never forget this,” he said. In a social media post along with his video, Rahul said, “Who is deciding the government’s policy? A BJP MP or Prime Minister Modi?”

“Even after the martyrdom of more than 700 farmers, especially the farmers of Haryana and Punjab, the BJP people are not satisfied. INDIA will not allow any conspiracy of BJP against our farmers to succeed — If any step is taken to harm the farmers, Modi ji will have to apologize again,” the Congress leader said.

Congress on Tuesday shared a video in which Ranaut said in Hindi, “Farm laws that have been repealed should be brought back. I think this may get controversial.
