Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday demanded compensation and jobs from the Centre for the next of kin of the deceased farmers who died during the year-long agitation against the three contentious farm laws on the borders of the national capital.

During the Zero Hour, Gandhi strongly criticised the Modi government for failing to maintain data on the death of farmers during the year-long agitation and tabled a list of farmers who were paid compensation and given jobs in Punjab and Haryana.

Congress members demanded a statement from the government on the issue and walked out of the House along with NCP and DMK members while raising slogans against the government.

바카라Around 700 farmers died in farmers바카라 agitation. The prime minister apologised to the farmers and accepted his mistake. On November 30, agriculture minister was asked a question - 바카라how many farmers died in the agitation? Agriculture minister said he had no data,바카라 the Congress member said.

바카라We found out that Punjab government has paid compensation of Rs five lakh each to more than 400 farmers. Of these 400 farmers, 152 have also been given jobs. I have one more list of 70 farmers from Haryana,바카라 Gandhi said.

바카라The prime minister had apologised and your government is saying that no farmer has died or you do not have the list of farmers. These are the names here,바카라 the former Congress president said before submitting the lists in Lok Sabha.

바카라I want that the farmers be given their rights. The prime minister has already apologised. Now, farmers should get compensation and jobs,바카라 the Lok Sabha member from Wayanad said.
