TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Several photos of farmers reaching the Capital braving Polices tear gas, water cannon have gone viral on social media. Sharing one of them in which a jawan can be seen aiming his baton at a protesting farmer, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said it is a very sad photo. Our slogan was Jai Jawan Jai Kisan, but today PM Modis arrogance made the jawan stand against the farmer. This is very dangerous, Gandhi tweeted.
Look at the countrys system in the BJP government. When the billionaire friends of BJP come to Delhi, they get red-carpet welcome. But when farmers come to Delhi, roads are being dug. It is right that anti-farmer laws are made but when farmers come to Delhi, it becomes wrong? Priyanka Gandhi tweeted denouncing police action on protesting farmers.
On Friday, the Delhi government welcomed the farmers to the Capital refusing Delhi Polices plea to turn the stadiums of the city to imprison the protesters for the time being. The protesters were allowed to assemble at the Nirankari Samagam Ground in Burari. A number of farmers said they want to go either to the Ramlila ground or Jantar Mantar to protest against the farm laws.
