NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the agitation of farmers against the new farm laws and said no government in the world can stop farmers fighting the “battle of truth”.
The former Congress chief’s attack on the government came as thousands of farmers, carrying flags and shouting slogans, gathered at various entry points into the national capital in a determined bid to push their way through as part of their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march against the new farm laws while police blocked them with barricades, teargas shells and batons.
Later, the farmers were allowed to enter the national capital and hold peaceful agitation, the Delhi Police said.
In a tweet in Hindi, Gandhi said the prime minister should remember that whenever arrogance takes on truth, it gets defeated.
