Govt will be forced to revoke farm laws: Rahul

January 14, 2021 14:45

Rahul Gandhi in Madurai, holds forth on the farmers' crisis: "Govt isn't just neglecting them, it's conspiring to destroy them because they want to benefit 2-3 of their friends. They want to give what belongs to farmer to 2-3 of their friends. That's what's happening. Neglect is too weak a word to explain what is taking place:

"Farmers of this country are the backbone of this country. If anybody thinks that you can suppress farmers & this country will continue to prosper, they just have to look at our history. Whenever Indian farmers are weak, India is weak.

"You are suppressing farmers. You're helping handful of businesses. When Corona comes, you are not helping common man. Whose Prime Minister are you? Are you the Prime Minister of the people of India or of 2-3 selected businessmen?

"Mark my words. Take it from me. The Government will be forced to take these laws (the three #FarmLaws), back. Remember what I said."

On China: "What is China doing inside our territory? Why are the Chinese people sitting inside Indian territory? Why has the PM got nothing to say about it? Why is the PM completely silent about the fact that Chinese troops are sitting inside Indian territory?"
