Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Only 10 per cent of the country’s farmers are involved in the ongoing farmers’ protest, claimed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya on Tuesday, adding that Canada’s assistance for the agitation must be questioned and understood.
“I think about 90 per cent of farmers are staying away from this protest. Only 10 per cent are involved. It is alarming that countries like Canada are supporting the protest. One should delve deep into why they are supporting and who all are doing politics in the name of our farmers,” Vijayvargiya mentioned.
This comes a handful of days following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke out twice in assistance of the agitating farmers, saying that he “will always stand up for the right of peaceful protests”. Farmers at the Singhu (Delhi-Haryana) border entered their eleventh day of protest on Tuesday against 3 laws passed by the Centre in September.
