“We are living in democracy and they are elected MPs. They have the right to meet the President and they should be allowed. What is the problem with that? This government is not ready to listen to voices of lakhs of farmers camping at borders,” said priyanka after being stopped by police while marching to the Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Priyanka added, “Sometimes they say we are so weak that we don't qualify as Opposition and sometimes, they say that we are so powerful that we have made lakhs of farmers camp at the border (of Delhi) for a month.”

“It is a sin to use the kind of names they (BJP leaders & supporters) used for farmers. If Govt is calling them anti-nationals, then the govt is a sinner,” said said the Congress leader.

Asserting that the Congress’ activists are marching towards Rashtrapati Bhawan to voice her party’s support for the farmers, Priyanka said, “Any dissent against this govt is classified as having elements of terror.”

Farmers have been protesting at the Delhi borders against the contentious farm laws for almost a month now. The government has held many round of talks with the farmer unions but failed to reach a consensus.
