On Tuesday, a group of opposition MPs marched to the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi to protest against the government’s handling of the ongoing farmers’ agitation. The march was led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and included MPs from the Trinamool Congress, the DMK, the Nationalist Congress Party, the Samajwadi Party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the CPI(M) and the CPI.
The MPs were protesting against the government’s refusal to repeal the three farm laws that have been the source of the ongoing agitation. The farmers have been protesting for over two months now, demanding the repeal of the laws. The government has refused to budge, and the protests have only intensified.
The MPs marched to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to present a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind, urging him to intervene in the matter and ensure that the government listens to the demands of the farmers. The memorandum also called for the immediate repeal of the three farm laws.
The march was peaceful, and the MPs were accompanied by a large number of farmers. The march was also supported by several civil society organisations, including the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee.
The march was a show of solidarity with the farmers and a sign of the opposition’s determination to stand with them in their fight for justice. The opposition has been vocal in its criticism of the government’s handling of the farmers’ agitation, and the march was a further demonstration of its commitment to the cause.
The march was also a reminder to the government that the opposition is united in its demand for the repeal of the farm laws. The government must take heed of the opposition’s demands and take steps to address the farmers’ grievances.
