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.
Now, The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) slammed the Union Minister's remark that the farmers were being "anti-national" or "anarchist" by protesting.
SAD spokesperson and DSGMC President S Manjinder Singh Sirsa in a video message said, "Farmers have been sitting peacefully and the government has faild to deliver justice...the farmers who themselves fight and die for the nation, grow food, and whose children too martyr themselves for the nation...don't try to paint them anti-national."
"The remark of Raosaheb Danve is shameful. He said that the farmers are not protesting but it is China and Pakistan which are making them protest. It is an insult to farmers. From time to time, ministers of the ruling government try to paint the farmers protesting as anti-national. The DSGMC firmly criticize the statement by Raosaheb Danve," he added.
