New Delhi: BJP MP Vivek Narayan Shejwalkar on Tuesday accused that the ongoing agitation by “called farmers’ leaders was organized based on the wrong lies and information.
Increasing the problem at Lok Sabha, Shejwalkar also asked the center to deal with “called the farmer” pioneered protest against three agricultural laws.
He took the exception to these farmers “because it created a problem for the general public by blocking the highway leading to the national capital”, he said.
This statement came a few days after the Minister of State for external affairs Meenakashi Lekhi who called the farmers protesting in Jantar Mantar as “Mawali” (Element noise).
He also accused that these protesters were “Arhatiyas” (intermediaries) and not real farmers.
Shejwalkar also said that allowing farmers to protest at Jantar Mantar in the center of Delhi was not in line with Covid-19 guidelines.
He alleged that called leaders who claimed as a sympathizer for farmers had organized agitation on the basis of lies and wrong information.
Shejwalkar said the real farmers opened him in the fields to produce output recordings and wonder who took part in protesting and blocking the highway.
“They can’t be a farmer,” he said, adding the government to deal with “strictly with what is called a farmer leader”.
Some farmers have protested three agricultural laws which were ratified by the previous September parliament, by saying the law opposed the interests of the agricultural society.
They have camped on the highway that leads to Delhi for eight months now seeking revocation of three laws.
The government has ruled out legal revocation, but said it was ready to overcome their objections to certain provisions.
