Union minister Raosaheb Danve on Wednesday claimed that China and Pakistan are behind the ongoing farmers' protests demanding the withdrawal of three new agricultural laws. He also alleged that Muslims were initially misled by the amended Citizenship Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), but these efforts were not successful. He said that now farmers are being told that they will suffer due to new laws.
Danve said this during the inauguration of a health center at Kolte Takli in Badnapur taluka of Jalna district, Maharashtra. He said that the movement that is going on does not belong to the farmers. China and Pakistan are behind this. Muslims were instigated first in this country. What was called? NRC is coming, CAA is coming and Muslims will have to leave this country in six months. Did any Muslims leave the country?

Now, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has responded to the statements of the Union Minister. ANI quoted Sanjay Raut who said, "If a Union minister has information that China and Pakistan have a hand behind farmers agitation, then, the Defence Minister should immediately conduct a surgical strike on China and Pakistan. The President, PM, HM and Chiefs of the Armed Forces should discuss this issue seriously."
