Sena says farmers' protest brought Centre to its knees, asks when will Maharashtra show solidarity like Punjab

India Today  

Extending support to farmers’ protest against new farm laws, the Shiv Sena on Friday said the ‘invincible’ image of PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah has suffered a blow like never before. The misunderstanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah can bend anyone has been proven false by farmers.” Taking a dig at the BJP, Shiv Sena wrote in Saamana, “Even in this cold weather, farmers of Punjab have forced the Modi government to sweat. Campaigns were launched to defame the farmers’ movement but tables instead turned on IT cell of the BJP.” Saying the farmers' protest has put immense pressure on the Narendra Modi-led government, Saamana editorial said, “Usual weapons of government, CBI, Income Tax, ED, NCB can't do anything here. "Our farmers are being treated as terrorists and attacked at Delhi borders while terrorists are killing our soldiers on the border in Kashmir," an editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana said.
