Rahul Gandhi Says Farmers Not Allowed in Parliament
Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, claimed that farmer leaders invited by him to Parliament were not allowed inside. He suggested it might be because they are farmers.
Farmers Plan Protests
Meanwhile, Samyukt Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha announced protests to demand legalizing the MSP guarantee. They plan to burn effigies of the Union government, stage a ‘long march’ to support private bills by the opposition, and hold a tractor rally on Independence Day. The farmers’ ‘Delhi Chalo’ march will complete 200 days on August 31, with rallies planned in Haryana in September.
