Systematic attack on farmers: Rahul

October 06, 2021 10:29

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and Punjab CM Charanjit Channi are at the party office in Delhi.

A 5-member delegation led by Rahul Gandhi will visit Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh today.

Highlights from Rahul Gandhi's press conference.

Unlike the Prime Minister who has the unique distinction of not holding a single press conference since he assumed office in 2014, Gandhi has held several pressers over the years.

"Farmers are being mowed down by a jeep, they're being murdered, the name of a union minister and his son is coming up in this incident (Lakhimpur Kheri). Yesterday, PM visited Lucknow, but he didn't visit Lakhimpur Kheri. It's a systematic attack on farmers.

"Today, with two CMs we will visit Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh to understand the situation there and support the farmers' families. Yes, Priyanka has been put under detention (in Sitapur) but this is a matter relating to the farmers.

"It is your (media) responsibility to raise this issue, but when we ask questions, raise the issue, then, you (media) say that we are doing politics.
