New Delhi, Dec 25 : The Congress on Friday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he is busy in giving clarifications on television on the three farm laws against which thousands of farmers are protesting for the last one month on the borders of the national capital, braving chilly winter conditions.
In a statement, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “In this bone chilling and spirit shattering cold, farmers have been pleading for justice at the doors of Delhi for the past 30 days.” Surjewala said that 44 farmers have died while fighting this ordeal, but the Modi government is busy in the servility of a handful of crony capitalists and has shown no empathy.
The Congress leader said that Prime Minister Modi and the BJP government are working on the policy of making the protesting farmers ‘exhaustibly tired so they are forced to flee’.
“The Prime Minister is giving clarifications on television and his ministers are offering excuses through letters, but the fact remains that he is busy in the servility of a handful of crony capitalists,” he alleged.
Surjewala further stated that the government has become the enemy of the farmers.
