Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has spoken with a farmer injured in police action during the tillers’ protest march, and accused the Modi government of having a “dictatorial attitude” towards the country’s food providers.

Gandhi’s telephonic conversation on Tuesday night with the injured farmer, Gurmeet Singh, was facilitated by Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Raja Warring who visited a government hospital in Rajpura town of Patiala district after the farmers clashed with Haryana Police.
