Protests against farm laws not limited to farmers, says Rahul

New Delhi, Feb 11 : Taunting the Modi government with a “ham do, hamare do” barb, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that the ongoing protest against three contentious farm laws is not just limited to the farmers, and that the laws will have to be withdrawn because the stir has now got the support of the entire country.
He said that the farmers are only showing a “torch” through the ongoing over 75-day long farmers’ protest, and the whole country is now preparing to stand against the government and its way of administration.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha on Budget 2021-2022 discussion, the former Congress President alleged that the government is only focussing on the benefit to private companies.
Declining to name them, he said that “you know who those are”.
“The farmers and labourers of the country will not stay back. You will have to take back the three farm laws. This movement is not only limited to farmers, it has been the movement of whole country against ‘ham do, hamare do’,” he said.
Gandhi said the livelihood of farmers, labourers, small businessmen will be hit if these laws will be implemented. “The food security system of the country will be finished completely, economy will be ruined, and there will be no employment.”
