New Delhi: In a fresh attack on the centre over the farmers’ protests, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has said that for the first time since independence such an ‘arrogant’ government has come to power that cannot see the sufferings of ‘annadatas;, She demanded that the new farm laws be immediately withdrawn unconditionally.
She said a government that ignores public sentiments in a democracy does not remain in power for long and described the Narendra Modi government as the first “arrogant regime in independent India that cannot see the pain and struggle of farmers.”
She said in a statement the government should shun arrogance and unconditionally repeal the three farm laws to end the agitation.
“Just like fellow citizens, I am distressed to see the plight of our farmers who are protesting at Delhi’s borders for 39 days in this bone-chilling cold and rains to get their demands accepted,” she said.
