Farmers Protest: Nitin Gadkari said there are some elements using the farmers movement to defame them.
New Delhi:
With no end to the deadlock between protesting farmers and the government even after multiple rounds of talks, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said the photograph of a person who supports the Naxalite movement was seen during the farmers agitation against the three new farm laws. I m not speaking of all farmers and farmer organisations, but I want to ask you something. In our Gadchiroli district, near Nagpur, in Vidarbha, a person who supports the Naxalite movement was investigated. The court also did not grant him bail. How did his photo appear in this movement? What is his link to farming and farmers? Mr Gadkari told NDTV when asked about his stand that an attempt is being to mislead the farmers over the laws.
