Congressional leader Digvijaya Singh on Saturday called on his party members to wake up and join farmers’ protests to speak out against the new agricultural laws introduced by the Center. “Farmers in Haryana, Punjab, UP and Rajasthan are protesting against the agricultural laws because Prime Minister Modi is doing them an injustice. The farmers of Madhya Pradesh are innocent, but even the congressmen sleep. Wake up, join the commotion and raise your voices against these laws ”, the ANI quoted the former Prime Minister of Madhya Pradesh.
Singh’s comments about farmers came after Madhya Pradesh Prime Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said there was no confusion in the state regarding farm laws, adding that farmers support Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
