Give justice to farmers: Rahul Gandhi to Modi govt

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asked the government to wake up and shed arrogance to provide protesting farmers their rights.
Farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, are holding protests at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders of the national capital against the Centre's new agri-marketing laws.
Taking to Twitter, Gandhi said everyone was indebted to the farmers for their hard work and this debt would be repaid only by giving them justice.
"The food grower is sitting in protest on the roads and fields and speeches are being given on TV. We all are indebted to the hard work of farmers. This debt will be over only by giving them justice and their rights, and not by mistreating them or by beating them with batons or using tear gas against them," he said in a tweet in Hindi.
The Centre has invited agitating farmer unions for talks on Tuesday.
