In a veiled attack on the Narendra Modi government, senior VHP leader Pravin Togadia on Sunday said the situation had come to such a pass that both soldiers and farmers were feeling distressed.
“The jawans are being beheaded along the borders, while the farmers were not getting fair prices for their produce,” Mr. Togadia told presspersons here.
“Farmers are forced to sell chilli at ₹1,500 per quintal as against ₹12,000 due to a drastic dip in the prices,” he said.
“Time has come that the Army should feel safe and farmers should prosper. For this, efforts should be made,” he said.
Referring to the recent incident of the killings of two Indian soldiers and mutilation of their bodies by the Pakistani forces, Mr. Togadia said, “Pakistan should be given a befitting reply.”
