In league with its billionaire friends, BJP govt insulting farmers: Priyanka Gandhi

The Congress’ General Secretary said that the government was viewing the problem through the eyes of its “billionaire” allies and that the government was constantly belittling farmers.



NEW DELHI — Following the Centre’s statement that it had no record of farmers dying during the demonstrations at Delhi’s borders against three agriculture laws since 2020, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday accused the government of “insulting” farmers while asking for the laws to be repealed.



“The BJP government said in Parliament that neither it made any effort to know the intention of the farmers on the black agricultural laws nor did it have any data of the martyred farmers,” Priyanka said.

Priyanka made the comments through a tweet posted in Hindi, using a Hindi hashtag which translated to “Take back black farm laws”.



Her remarks come after the Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the Parliament on Friday that the government had no records of farmers dying during the past year’s protest at Delhi’s borders against three new agricultural laws.



It is in place to mention here that since November last year, farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh have been camping outside Delhi’s borders in protest of the three laws.



After obtaining special permission, a small group of 200 farmers is also holding a protest at Jantar Mantar in central Delhi.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr
