After Gulzarilal Nanda and Lalbahadur Shastri, none who has entered public life in India has died poor. This man Rakesh Singh Tikait is reported to be worth Rs.80 crores.

In response to the “Khalistani” accusation which the Modi-Shah government is finding a convenient smear to downplay the entire agitation, the farmers should provide TEO LISTS to the government and the media : 1) list of names of their sons who are currently serving in the Armed forces, and who can reasonably be assumed to be sympathizers of the protests, and 2) list of such personnel who were martyred for the country. These lists will run into tens of thosands, or maybe a few lakhs, and will convince the government that “good supporters” of the cause far outnumber a few “bad eggs” who might indeed belong to separatist ideologies and are creating bad noises to give the government an excuse.
Truth of the matter is, these laws are not only anti farmers, but they will prove GENOCIDAL FOR THE ENTIRE POOR MASSES OF THE COUNTRY.
