Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday came down heavily on the Modi government over the three farm laws that thousands and thousands of farmers have been agitating against at the borders of the national capital for almost a month now.
Attempts to brand these farmers anti-social, part of the extreme left or even egged on by terrorist movements like the Khalistan front, is nothing new, the former Congress chief told the media, after meeting President Ram Nath Kovind along with party MPs Ghulam Nabi Azad and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
He slammed the Centre’s stance since November 26, when the first batch of farmers from Haryana and Punjab landed at Singhu and Tikri borders as “anti-farmers” and said that anyone who raises voice against the Narendra Modi government have always been labelled “terrorists and anti-nationals”.
“Democracy is a figment of imagination in this country. It only exists in our dreams,” Gandhi said he rued as a leader of the largest democratic state in the world.
