Rahul Gandhi said farmers are the providers of food and their problems can be gauged from the fact that one farmer is forced to commit suicide every hour in the country.
We support farmers’ needs
He said that due to the insensitivity of the Modi government, the country has not forgotten the martyrdom of more than 700 farmers during the first farmers’ movement.
The farmers want to come to Delhi to raise their demands with the government and express their pain. Firing tear gas canisters at them and trying to stop them in every way is reprehensible. The government should listen carefully to their demands and problems.
This can shed light on the pain of the food giver.

Delhi farmers’ march postponed, now scheduled for December 8
Let us inform that on Friday, the protesting farmers who were marching towards Delhi on various demands, including providing legal cover to MSPs, postponed their march for the day after tear gas shells were fired at the Punjab-Haryana border, injuring some farmers. . Now the team will march towards Delhi on December 8.
Earlier in the day, a ‘jatha’ of 101 farmers started marching towards the national capital from the protest site at Shambhu border, but multi-layered roadblocks put up by Haryana security personnel stopped them a few meters away.
