Rahul Gandhi to hold press conference today, release booklet over Farm Laws

Hitting out at the Central government over the farmers’ protest at the Delhi borders, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the only solution to the deadlock is to repeal the three farm laws. Accusing the government of “destroying” Indian agriculture by enacting the three farm laws, Gandhi on Tuesday released a booklet to highlight the pitfalls of the legislation.

“There is a tragedy unfolding today in the country, government wants to ignore the issue and misinform the country. I’m not going to speak about farmers alone as it is only part of the tragedy. It’s important for youngsters. This is not about the present but about your future,” he said during the press conference.

“The rice, wheat you (middle class) buy comes at the rate you purchase because of APMC and the agricultural system. This is not an assault on farmers but on the middle class and on every single youngster in the country, who is not able to get a job,” Rahul added.
