Farmers' protests: Deaths daily, Centre must relent, says Bhupinder Singh Hooda
Description
ROHTAK: Former chief minister and opposition leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda expressed concern over increasing cases of farmers’ deaths during the ongoing agitation. Slamming the Union government for its apathy towards farmers, he said all demands of farmers are valid but still, the government is constantly ignoring the movement. “Every day, some farmers are dying at the agitation site and many farmers have sacrificed their lives for the movement. The total number of fatalities has now reached about 40. In such a situation, the government should talk to farmers with sensitivity and seriousness so that they end their agitation once their demands are accepted,” he said. Speaking to reporters in Rohtak, Hooda said they want to bring a no-confidence motion against the government in the assembly on the issue of farmers. “This government has lost the trust of public and legislators. Every section is on the streets against the government and many independent MLAs have withdrawn their support. Many legislators of the coalition partner JJP have also openly spoken in support of farmers,” Hooda said.
