Humble farmers understand their rights, when required oppose bills like farm laws, says Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who visited the farmers of Haryana's Sonepat on July 8, and had conversation with them, said on Sunday that the humble farmers understand their rights and when required they stand against the laws like the three farm laws.

Sharing the link of his interaction on Twitter, the former Lok Sabha MP said, "Plantation of paddy, Bread on Manji - Farmers are the Strength of India. Farmers have a huge contribution in uniting India their grown grains are a part of every plate of the country, but their austerity does not get the right return and respect."

He said that the Bharat Jodo Yatra in its next leg halted at the fields of Sonepat, Haryana.

"I met two farmer brothers, Sanjay Malik and Tasbir Kumar. They are childhood best friends, who have been doing farming together for many years. While Sanjay ji has taken the land on lease from the government, Tasbir ji works with him on a 25 per cent contract.
