Hooda: Centre has no concern for farmers

Hisar, January 22

Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has said the Centre seems to have snapped ties with peasantry and humanity.

“Several farmers have lost their lives during the struggle, but the Centre is unmoved. The country is hurt by the indifference shown by the Centre,” he told the media in the district’s Ramayan village today. “The martyrdom of farmers will not go in vain.”

The former Chief Minister further said, “The Centre is unable to understand the circumstances of farmers and their role in the country’s development. Their input cost is constantly rising under the BJP rule, but their income is decreasing. Introducing new laws forcibly smacks of injustice.”

To a query, the Congress leader reiterated the need for bringing a no-confidence motion against the Khattar government in the Assembly. “The no-confidence motion will make it clear which party and MLAs stand with farmers,” he added.
