Rahul Gandhi Launches 'Speak up for farmers' campaign against Farm Bills

The Congress on Saturday launched a 'Speak up for farmers' campaign on social media protesting the farm bills, with Rahul Gandhi urging people to raise their voice against what he described was the Narendra Modi government's "exploitation" of farmers. The three bills were passed by both houses of Parliament during the Monsoon session and are awaiting presidential assent.

Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi:

"Let us raise our voices together against the atrocities and exploitation of farmers by the Modi government," Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi. "Join the Speak Up For Farmers campaign through your video," he said, tagging a video in which the party called for the withdrawal of the bills.
