Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday alleged that the Narendra Modi government was “anti-farmer” and treating farmers as “enemies” for demanding their rights.
His remarks come a day after farmer leaders Sarwan Singh Pandher and Jagjit Singh Dallewal gave a call to farmers across the nation to reach Delhi on March 6 for a protest. They also gave a four-hour countrywide ‘rail roko’ call for March 10 in support of their various demands, including a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) for crops and farm debt waiver.
