Govt should apologise for atrocities on protesting farmers: SP vice-prez
Description
Ayodhya: After PM Narendra Modi announced repeal of three farm laws, Samajwadi Party demanded apology from the government for “inflicting atrocities on protesting farmers”. Talking to TOI, state SP vice-president of Samajwadi Party, Jai Shankar Pandey, said, “BJP suddenly got a sinking feeling just months before the assembly elections. This was their last resort to stave off an electoral defeat.” Akhilesh Yadav is receiving a resounding welcome from people during his ‘vijay yatra’ and this has given BJP cold feet, he said. “The government has bowed to public opinion after months of protests by Rakesh Tikait and rising public support to Samajwadi Party during its rathyatra. BJP is bound to stop the war it has waged against farmers and this is the victory of democracy.”
