New Delhi: Questioning how the farm laws were formulated without consulting the farmers, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday urged the people of the country to raise their voice in support of the protesting farmers.
The Congress leader, taking to Twitter, also alleged that the farm laws only benefit the billionaire friends of the Central government.
नाम किसान कानून
लेकिन सारा फायदा अरबपति मित्रों का
किसान कानून बिना किसानों से बात किए कैसे बन सकते हैं? उनमें किसानों के हितों की अनदेखी कैसे की जा सकती है?
सरकार को किसानों की बात सुननी होगी। आइए मिलकर किसानों के समर्थन में आवाज उठाएं।#SpeakUpForFarmers pic.twitter.com/av8i7jhUptAlso Read | 'We are here for long haul': Farmers start gathering at Delhi's Burari Ground

"Name is farm law, but only billionaire friends get all the benefit. How can farm laws be made without consulting the farmers? How can farmers' benefits be ignored? The government has to listen to farmers. Come, let us raise our voice in support of the farmers together," she tweeted in Hindi.
This comes as thousands of farmers have gathered at the border of the national capital to protest against the farm laws recently enacted by the Central government. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had, yesterday, announced that the Centre is willing to discuss all of the farmers' issues.
Shah had also assured the farmers that they are ready to hold discussions before December 3, when a meeting was called by Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, if they shift their protest to a structured place and vacate roads and highways, where they have been protesting.
