Addressing a public rally in Haryana on Tuesday, 6 October, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi questioned PM Narendra Modi over the passage of the farm laws, asking if the move had been for the good of the farmers, and if so, why there was a widespread protest by the same people.
Earlier in the day, Gandhi's tractor rally, beginning from Nurpur in Patiala as a part of the party's 'Kheti Bachao Yatra', was briefly stopped at Haryana border. However, the rally was eventually allowed to enter Haryana.
“If this move was for the good of the farmers, why did you do this amid the coronavirus pandemic? You thought farmers would not be able to put up a fight now. But Modiji, you are wrong” Gandhi said, saying that India’s farmers knew how to fight and would not budge an inch.
