Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday demanded from the Modi government to convene a special session of the Parliament and withdraw the three farm laws that are the heart of protests. Speaking to reporters after meeting President Ram Nath Kovind with two-crore signatures against the farm laws, Rahul accused PM Narendra Modi and the BJP of not listening to the farmers demand and making money for the crony capitalists.
“I told the President that these farm laws are anti-farmer. The country has seen that farmers have stood up against these laws,” he said.
“I want to tell the PM that these farmers are not going to go back home until these farm laws are repealed. Govt should convene a joint session of Parliament and take back these laws. Opposition parties stand with farmers & labourers,” Rahul added.
“Whoever will try to stand against him will be called terrorist – be it farmers, labourers and even Mohan Bhagwat,” the Congress leader opined.
Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury meet President Kovind and submitted a memorandum containing two-crore signatures seeking withdrawal of farm laws.
