Agri laws are death sentence for farmers: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday alleged that the agriculture-related laws are a ”death sentence” for farmers whose voice has been crushed both inside and outside Parliament. ”The agriculture laws are a death sentence to our farmers. Their voice is crushed in Parliament and outside. Here is proof that democracy in India is dead,” he said on Twitter.

Gandhi tagged a news report along with his tweet that claimed that Opposition members demanding a division of votes were on their seats when the farm bills were passed in the Rajya Sabha, while the government said they were not. Gandhi and his Congress party have been demanding that the farm legislations be withdrawn as they are not beneficial for farmers, who will be enslaved at the hands of private players and big businesses.
