NCP leader slams Modi govt over handling of farmers' agitation

| @indiablooms | Feb 03, 2021, at 01:28 am

Mumbai/UNI: Senior NCP leader and Minister for Minorities Nawab Malik on Tuesday slammed the BJP-led central government, saying it was trying to suppress the farmers' agitation in Delhi in 'authoritarian manner'.

Talking to reporters here, he pointed out that the government has made similar security arrangements for the agitating farmers in Delhi akin to the ones on the international border with China or Pakistan.

It was not appropriate for the government to suppress the farmers' agitation, the minister noted.

Malik said that people of the country would never accept that the (Narendra) Modi government was running a system not based on democratic principles and resorting to oppressive tactics to end the farmers' agitation.

He urged it to immediately stop these methods.
