New Delhi/Raipur, Nov 1 : Raising the issue of recently passed farm laws by the Centre, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that he is confident that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would reconsider them.
In his address on the occasion of Chhattisgarh’s 20th foundation day, the former Congress President said: “I am confident that PM Modi will reconsider these three laws when the sentiments of the farmers emerge as these laws are weakening our foundation.” He said the foundation of a city is a village, and the foundations of a village are farmers, labourers, farms, small shopkeepers etc.
“If we weaken our foundation, the entire building will be weakened. When we protect farmers and labourers, we also protect this country,” he said.
Gandhi said everyone knows the condition of the farmers in the country. “Everyday, one gets to read somewhere that a farmer has committed suicide,” he said.
“I had also said in my speech during Bihar rally that ‘mandi’ and MSP have a very important place because they protect farmers and labourers.
