Indian National Congress (INC) leader Rahul Gandhi drove a tractor to the Parliament on Monday. It reasserted his protest against the three contentious farm laws during the monsoon session.
The Member of Parliament was seen entering the Parliament area through Vijay Chowk along with other Congress MPs from Punjab and Haryana. MPs Deepender Hooda, Ravneet Singh Bittu, and Pratap Singh Bajwa were also present at the demonstration. The protesting MPs were seen holding placards “Repeal Farm Laws” and “Repeal anti-farmer black laws”. The tractor also carried a big banner in front and read “Rollback all three black farm laws”.
अगर खेत बेचने पर मजबूर करोगे, तो ट्रैक्टर संसद में चलेगा- सत्य की फ़सल उगाकर रहेंगे!

MP Rahul Gandhi was in the driver’s seat of the tractor and was seen talking to the other MPs of his party. Addressing the reporters later, Gandhi said he has brought the suppressed voices of the farmers to Parliament.

Shortly after Gandhi reached the Parliament, Delhi Police arrested Congress General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala for violating Section 144 of CrPC through the party’s demonstration.
