Host farmers like you treated Obama: Owaisi to PM
Description
Bharuch: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to invite protesting farmers to his a residence like he had hosted then US president Barack Obama, and repeal the new farm laws. Addressing a rally for upcoming polls to local bodies in Gujarat, the Hyderabad MP also asked the PM to be “large-hearted” and “understand pains” of the farmers, who have been protesting at borders of Delhi over the last two months demanding to scrap the agri marketing legislations. “The way the farmers are being treated is not right. It is wrong. The PM should invite the farmers to his residence like he had offered tea to (then US President) Barack Obama with his own hand (in 2015), which is fine as he was our guest. We expect the PM to invite the farmers, offer them tea and biscuits and tell them the (agri marketing) laws are being repealed, and that they should be happy,” Owaisi said.
