Farmers across Punjab burned Prime Minister Narendra Modi, business tycoons Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani’s effigies during Dussehra celebration. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter on Monday to call it “dangerous precedent” and “bad for our country”.
“This happened all over Punjab yesterday. It’s sad that Punjab is feeling such anger towards PM. This is a very dangerous precedent and is bad for our country. PM should reach out, listen and give a healing touch quickly,” Rahul tweeted along with a newspaper clipping.
According to a report by The Tribune, the call to burn effigies was given by the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan).
A huge effigy with photographs of Modi, Ambani and Adani was burnt in Bathinda with similar protests held in various other districts.
“We have burnt the effigies to send out the message that we are going to intensify our agitation against the new farm laws in the coming days,” Kulwinder Kaur, member, BKU (Ugrahan) Sangrur unit, was quoted as saying by the daily.
