Congress says PM Modi should talk to protesting farmers

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that a soldier was pitted against an old farmer due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “arrogance”.

The Congress also said it would have been better if the Prime Minister talked to the protesting farmers instead of getting “himself photographed in corporate offices”.

“This is a very sad photo. Our slogan was ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’, but today a soldier is standing against the farmer due to PM Modi’s arrogance. This is very dangerous,” he said in a tweet in Hindi along with the picture of a soldier showing a baton to an old farmer.
