Govt. treating farmers the way it should be treating China: Owaisi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Asking the government to withdraw the three farm laws, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM) on Tuesday accused the Centre of treating farmers the way it should be treating China on the borders of the country.

Participating in a discussion in Lok Sabha on the Motion of Thanks to the President for his address, Owaisi said the “infrastructure” that should have been created at the borders to check Chinese troops was erected at Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders to prevent farmers from entering Delhi.

He wanted to know why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was “shying” away from taking the name of China which is responsible for the killing of Indian soldiers and constructing a village in Arunachal Pradesh.

Owaisi hoped that during his reply to the debate, PM Modi will blame China for its actions against India. He said the government should rescind the three controversial farm laws and contended that Parliament was not competent to legislate on agriculture which is a state subject.
