Centre Insulted Farmers, Ministers Called Them Traitors: Priyanka Gandhi

Accusing the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government of insulting farmers, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday said the men who protect the country's borders are sons of farmers.

Addressing a "kisan panchayat" in Uttar Pradesh's Bijnore, the Congress leader said farmers were ridiculed in Parliament and dubbed as traitors by ministers.

"The farmer who is standing on your door, his son is standing at the border of the country. The farmer whom you are insulting, his son is safeguarding the country's border," she said, referring to the protest against the farm laws at the Delhi borders.
