The central government intends to hand over the agriculture sector to the industrialists in the same manner as it has handed petrol, diesel and airports to industrialists.”

Gurucharan Singh who was a Subedar and is now the District President of Lakhimpur Kheri, Veterans Association told, “There is a huge difference between what the Modi government says and what it does. Therefore, the Modi government cannot be trusted.” He added that these three black farm laws were like a death warrant for the farmers and this government should not be allowed to rule the country.

History was witness to the fact that evil was always defeated as were Ravana, Kansa and Duryodhan, he added. (Ageny)
