Congress president Rahul Gandhi slammed the Narendra Modi government for using violent methods to stop thousands of protesting farmers from entering Delhi on Tuesday.
Gandhi took to Twitter and wrote, “On World Non-violence Day, BJP’s two-year long Gandhi Jayanti celebrations began with the savage thrashing of farmers marching peacefully to Delhi.
Now the farmers cannot even come to the capital of the country to convey their suffering.”
विश्व अहिंसा दिवस पर BJP का दो-वर्षीय गांधी जयंती समारोह शांतिपूर्वक दिल्ली आ रहे किसानों की बर्बर पिटाई से शुरू हुआ।
अब किसान देश की राजधानी आकर अपना दर्द भी नहीं सुना सकते! #KisanKrantiYatra
