The NDA government should be shamed by the international community on the issue of reported 70 deaths of the farmers in their agitation to get the three farm laws repealed. The media has been suppressing this tragic aspect. The farmers are well within their fundamental rights to oppose bills that are not in their interests. The insensitivity of the Central government and their lack of respect for farmers' lives has to be condemned and is a mortal sin. This movement is like a second Bhoodan movement that Acharya Vinoba Bhave fought for and emerged victorious. The government should relent and repeal these laws which are against the will of the farming community which forms 50 per cent of the total Indian electorate. Even the Supreme Court should not pass any ban on the tractor march by the farmers on Republic Day. India is a democracy and the farmers have every right to congregate and demonstrate. The NDA government is scared that they will meet their Waterloo if the three farm laws are repealed. The government should stop obstructing the fundamental rights of the farmers. No foreign head of state has consented to be the chief guest at the Republic Day parade. Everything that goes round comes round. The Prime Minister should apologize for the loss of lives or resign. Is this what he calls 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas?' Your time has come. Your 'Mann ki Baat' has been distorted.
