New farm laws are an attack on soul of every farmer: Rahul Gandhi

Picking up from where he left during his party’s tractor rally earlier this month, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Saturday said the the Centre has launched an assault on Punjab and its farmers with the three “ill-conceived” farm laws that would also “weaken” the country’s foundation.

“These three laws are an attack on the soul of every farmer of this country, they are an attack on their sweat and blood. I came to Punjab and Haryana a few days ago and every farmer and labourer knows that these three laws are an attack on them,” Rahul said.

He said he was happy that the Punjab government has decided to convene a special session of the Assembly on October 19 where MLAs will “decide about these farm laws”.
