New Delhi: Amid the ongoing farmers' agitation and simmering tensions, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that the government is trying to discredit farmers by all means and the party stands with farmers in support of the agitation.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Friday, Gandhi said: "You are trying to discredit farmers and the government should talk to them. The only way is to repeal the (farm) laws. We need conversation and solution to this problem."
The Congress leader said that this is the nation's voice and the government will not be able to suppress the farmer's movement that is only likely to spread.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that the new farm laws will dismantle the Mandi system and will allow big businessmen to hoard which will affect the middle class and people from weaker sections of society.
