Priyanka Gandhi raised questions
Let us tell you that on February 13, more than 200 farmer unions marched in Delhi to put pressure on the Center to accept several demands, including enacting a law to guarantee the minimum support price for crops. Let’s announce it in March.

Cement barricades installed on the road

The road at Ghaggar flyover at Shambhu border was closed for traffic and police have installed cement barricades on the road.

Order to suspend internet services
Along with this, the state government also ordered to suspend mobile internet services and bulk SMS in seven districts Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa.

Priyanka Gandhi raised questions
While posting on X, Priyanka Gandhi also wrote that laying spikes and thorns in the path of farmers is it Amrit Kaal or injustice time? Due to this insensitive and anti-farmer attitude, 750 farmers lost their lives. What kind of characteristic is it of the government to work against the farmers and then not even allowing them to raise their voice? Priyanka said that the central government neither made the MSP law for the farmers nor doubled the income of the farmers. In such a situation, if the farmers do not come to the government, where will they go? He asked the Prime Minister, why is the country’s farmers being treated like this? The promise made to the farmers was not fulfilled.

किसानों के रास्ते में कील-काँटे बिछाना अमृतकाल है या अन्यायकाल?

इसी असंवेदनशील एवं किसान विरोधी रवैये ने 750 किसानों की जान ली थी। किसानों के खिलाफ काम करना, फिर उनको आवाज भी न उठाने देना – कैसी सरकार का लक्षण है?
