Why PM not fasting for farmers cause, asks Owaisi
All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen party chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday wanted to know if Prime Minister Narendra Modi would undertake a fast on suicides by farmers.
​Hyderabad: All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen party chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday wanted to know if Prime Minister Narendra Modi would undertake a fast on suicides by farmers.
“If the Prime Minister wants to fast for whole session of Parliament getting washed out, I want to ask the honourable Prime Minister where is his sense of duty lost, wherein, in the past four years thousands of farmers committed suicides," he said.
He said farmers in Maharashtra also committed suicide. "Will the Prime Minister fast for those farmers? Will he sit on fast against the atrocities against Dalits in Uttar Pradesh? Why does not the Prime Minister sit on fast to atone for his false promises?” the Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP asked.
Speaking to media persons here, Owaisi said he wanted to know the stand of BJP and Prime Minister on the incident of rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Jammu & Kashmir.
Charging the Yogi Adityanath’s government in Uttar Pradesh with “partiality”, Owaisi alleged the State is not run by rule of law but “by rule of gun and rule of appeasement”. He said the people of UP will give a "strong" reply at an appropriate time to all these “misgovernance”.
