"Satyagraha" Ends Atrocities, Arrogance: Rahul Gandhi On Bharat Bandh

Hundreds of farmers have been camping at Delhi's border points at Ghazipur, Singhu and Tikri since November last year demanding that the Centre repeal the three contentious farm laws.

India's history shows that "satyagraha" ends atrocities, injustice and arrogance, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Friday, expressing support for the "Bharat Bandh" called by farmer unions protesting the three agri laws. Farmer unions protesting the laws have called for a complete "Bharat Bandh" from 6 am to 6 pm on Friday which marks four months of the farmer agitation on Delhi's three borders -- Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri. In a tweet in Hindi, Mr Gandhi said India's history shows that ''satyagraha'' ends atrocities, injustice and arrogance.  The movement should be in national interest and peaceful, the former Congress chief added.
