Meghalaya Governor takes on Centre again; warns not to mess with farmers

He has earlier too lashed out at the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on various occasions.

Meghalaya Governor tells Centre to keep promise made to farmers

He has also called upon the Union government to keep its promise made to farmers. It was after the Centre’s assurance that they had called off their year-long agitation in December last year. The government, it may be recalled, had assured the farmers that the farm laws were being repealed.

The agriculturists should not be pinned down, he said.

Malik critical of Prime Minister Modi

Proclaiming that he is able to take on Modi and the Centre on the farmers’ issue because he still lives in a one-and-half room Delhi house, Satya Pal Malik also said that he could lose his post for bringing up the farmers’ issues. However, he was not afraid of being thrown out of Governorship for talking on behalf of the farmers.

The Meghalaya governor, however, clarified that he does not have any ‘enmity’ with the Centre. “I live, that is why I am able to take on PM Modi over the farmers' issue,” he said.

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
