Rahul Gandhi to interact with farmers today

September 29, 2020 08:17

As farmers and opposition leaders continue nationwide protests against the newly enacted farm laws, Congress president Rahul Gandhi is set to interact with the crop growers at 10 am.

The grand old party interim president has asked all Congress-ruled states to pass laws that would negate the "draconian and anti-farmer" legislations of the Centre, against which several farmers under the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee have been observing 'rail roko' agitation.

The protesters have been squatting on rail tracks since September 24 in Punjab's Jalandhar, Amritsar, Tanda, Mukerian and Ferozepur.
