These 24 political parties should also discuss with all the groups under NDA who are with the farmers. Nitishji should mount pressure on Modiji,” Singh tweeted (roughly translated from Hindi).

राष्ट्रपति जी से किसान विरोधी क़ानून को वापस लेने के लिए 24 राजनैतिक दलों का डेलीगेशन आज मिलने जा रहा है। मुझे महामहिम जी से कोई उम्मीद नहीं है। इन 24 राजनैतिक दलों को NDA में उन सभी दलों से भी चर्चा करना चाहिए जो किसानों के साथ हैं। नितीश जी को मोदी जी पर दबाव डालना चाहिए

Communist Party of India (Marxist) politburo member Sitaram Yechury on Tuesday said a joint delegation of opposition parties which will include Congress, CPI, DMK apart from his party will meet President Ram Nath Kovind today regarding the recently promulgated central farm laws.

“A joint delegation of Opposition parties will meet President Kovind on December 9 at 5 pm. The delegation will include Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, a DMK leader and a CPI leader and others” Yechury told ANI.

“Rashtrapati Bhawan has said that due to COVID-19 protocol, not more than five leaders are allowed to meet the President. We have asked for relaxation in the norms for all the representatives of the 11 signatories on the letter against these laws,” he added.

Meanwhile, Digvijaya Singh had yesterday slammed RSS while opposing the agricultural law, saying that RSS is not a registered organisation neither they have any membership, however, it is the most powerful organisation without any accountability.

“Why are they silent today? We want to ask Mohan Bhagwat if Modiji is not listening to the farmers’ union and farmers, then the Sangh should stop supporting Modiji. BJP is looting the country, all they care about is triple talaq, love-jihad, NCR,” said Singh.
