New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during a presser on Tuesday said that the ‘Kheti Bachao Yatra’ is against the ‘kaala kanoon’ (dark laws), which will destroy the existing structure of agriculture in the country, affecting Punjab and Haryana most severely.
Modi govt has destroyed small & medium businesses during the lockdown, which are the backbone of India’s economy & gives employment to laborers. I had warned about Covid-19 in Feb but they said I was joking.

HIGHLIGHTS:
# “The way in which Modi first did demonetisation, then GST and then during corona crisis did not extend a helping hand to farmers, workers, small businesses at all, similarly these farm laws too are an attack on farmers,” he said.
# “Our yatra is against the three ‘kaala kanoon’ (laws which bring darkness) by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These laws will destroy the existing structure of farming and food security in the country. Punjab and Haryana will be the most affected by it. If this structure breaks then in future Punjab will not be able find a way out,” Gandhi said at a press conference here.
