“Modi ji says that we want to speak with farmers, what do you want to talk about? Repeal the (agri) laws, farmers will speak with you. You (PM) are taking away their land, future and then you want to talk. Take back laws first, then talk,” Gandhi said.

The former Congress president added that farm laws will not only affect farmers, but will hit 40% Indians who are in the agriculture business. He further alleged that through the laws, the PM wants to clear way for his friends, reported PTI. 

Railing against Modi, both for the farmers’ and Indo-China border issues, Gandhi said that the PM wouldn’t stand in front of China, but would threaten farmers.
