Congress authorities didn’t permit farmers to enter Jaipur: Farmers
Speaking to Republic TV, one of many protesting farmers named Jaiveer Singh accused Rahul Gandhi of visiting the state for political positive factors and never for elevating the farmers’ points. Singh mentioned that Rahul Gandhi was attempting to idiot the farmers. “We have been agitating against the farm laws for the past 3 months. But here you should call it a Congress rally. You are hoisting Kisan flags and fooling us? When we held a march on November 1 against the laws, it was your government which did not allow us to enter Jaipur. You are saying BJP government doesn’t allow to enter Delhi, then how is your government different?”, Singh mentioned.
Rahul Gandhi is right here is organise a political rally within the identify of farmers: Farmers
Singh mentioned that the farmers needed to talk to Rahul Gandhi and due to this fact had sought permission to satisfy him. The permission was granted however the farmers weren’t allowed to satisfy him later. “He walked away childishly without meeting us. So we tore his posters and we will do it again”, he added.
Another farm mentioned that Gandhi didn’t need to converse to the farmers and that he solely needed to assemble a crowd for his political rally. It is the allegation of the farmers that Congress took out the rally for political positive factors within the pretext of addressing farmers’ points.
Congress and the way it has fanned protests
It is moderately attention-grabbing to see Rahul Gandhi being opposed by so-called farmers in Jaipur when Congress has been continuously fanning violence within the identify of farmers.
As we now have maintained right here at OpIndia, the Congress Party shall be greater than keen to set all the nation on hearth if solely they may rule over the ashes. They have demonstrated that fairly eloquently throughout the entire set of occasions.
The solely factor that mattered to the Congress get together is that it noticed a possibility which it may use to undermine the ruling dispensation. It conveniently ignored the truth that they’d advocated for a similar reforms earlier. Instead, they threw their full weight behind the protesters.
Rahul Gandhi, in the meantime, former president of the Congress get together, and perhaps the following one, has been making feedback that come throughout as WhatsApp forwards. “There is no deadlock. The government, in its arrogance, believes that they can tire out farmers. But farmers cannot be fooled. Indian farmers know more than the Prime Minister. There is only one solution that they have to take back the laws,” he mentioned addressing a press convention.
More lately, he has mentioned that the three legal guidelines will allow ‘2-3 big industrialists’ to take over Indian agriculture. Such rhetoric had horrible penalties and finally, Jio Towers have been vandalised in Punjab in giant numbers. The Punjab Chief Minister needed to come out strongly in opposition to the vandals however it’s his personal get together that incited the entire fracas. The Congress party-led the horse to the water after which cried foul when the horse determined to drink it.
The fixed fear-mongering by the Congress get together of a protest that was clearly led by Khalistanis added gasoline to fireplace, a fireplace that culminated with the violence on Republic Day in Delhi.
While the Congress get together has been fuelling pressure and violence that led to the siege of Delhi, it’s attention-grabbing that the Congress authorities itself didn’t permit the so-called farmers to enter Jaipur. It seems as if whereas the Congress desires the fireplace to stay burning with the intention to hold the offensive up in opposition to PM Modi, they need to be certain that the few states authorities by them will not be touched.
