Delhi Cheif Minister Arvind Kejriwal has extended his support to the agitating farmers in a very solidarity way. Kejriwal tore the copy of three farm laws in the special assembly session of the Legislative Council.
Addressing the Delhi Assembly Kejriwal said that ” the farm laws are introduced for BJP’s electoral funding and not for the farmers.
“I am pained that I have to do this. I did not intend to, but I cannot betray the farmers of my country who have been sleeping on the streets in the cold when the temperature is just 2 degrees Celsius,” Kejriwal said.
“I am a citizen of this country first, a chief minister later. This assembly rejects the three laws and appeals to the central government to meet the demands of farmers,” he said.
“What was the hurry to get the farm laws passed in Parliament during pandemic? It has happened for first time that three laws were passed without voting in Rajya Sabha. I hereby tear the farm laws in this assembly and appeal Centre not to become worst than Britishers,” Kejriwal said as he tore a copy of the farm laws.
Ranking up the matter of the death by suicide of the priest farmer Kejriwal asserted and lashed out at the central government. He also compared the central government with the British Raj.
He said “I want to ask Centre how many sacrifices farmers will have to make, to get their voices heard. Every farmer has become Bhagat Singh. The government is saying that they are reaching out to farmers and trying to explain the benefits of Farm Bills. UP CM told farmers that they’ll benefit from these bills as their land won’t be taken away. Is it a benefit?”
Today the nation also marked 22nd day of the ongoing farmers protest and its becoming a huge problem nation wide.
