Following aspersions cast by Minister of State VK Singh on the authenticity of farmers protesting against NDA government’s new laws, Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) hit back and asked if they needed to "come with plough and oxen to appear like farmers".

“Many of the people in pictures do not appear to be farmers,” VK Singh had said, according to ANI.

WHAT HAD VK SINGH SAID?

Union Minister Singh on Monday, 1 December, alleged that it is not the farmers who have a problem with the farm laws.

“Many of the people in pictures do not appear to be farmers. What is in the interest of farmers has been done,” Singh said, according to ANI.

“It's not the farmers who have a problem with this (farm laws), but others. Besides opposition, people who get commission are behind it (protest),” he added.

BACKGROUND

Farmers' leaders on Tuesday, 1 December, participated in talks with the Centre at Delhi's Vigyan Bhawan over the protests against the new farm laws with Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Union Minister Piyush Goyal.

Meanwhile, the Chilla border (Delhi-Noida Link Road) has been closed in wake of protesting farmers blocking Delhi to UP Link Road.
