Budget Session Of Parliament: Opposition Tears Into Modi Government In Rajya Sabha Over Farmers’ Protest

INDIA Team Latestly|

Opposition on February 4 tore into the government's handling of the farmers' protest against three contentious farm reform laws. Opposition said ministers believe in monologue & trenches have been dug, barbed wires put up and spikes installed when bridges should have been built to win over farmers. Manoj Kumar Jha of the RJD said the government has lost the patience to hear & any criticism is painted as anti-national. He said such aggressive approach wasn't even heard of towards the neighbouring nations who came inside (the Indian territory). TMC MP Derek O'Brien also hit out at the centre. Participating in the debate, Digvijaya Singh of the Congress lashed out at the BJP government, saying right from demonetisation to the CAA were blunders that hit the people hard. Terming the three farm laws "anti-farmers", he said the PM had lost their trust.
