New Delhi, Dec 13 (IANS): Former Union Home Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram has slammed the Centre on the linking of farmers' protest with Khalistan and Maoist elements and questioned that if it were so why was the government holding talks with protesters.

"Ministers have described the protesters against the farm laws as Khalistanis, agents of Pakistan and China, Maoists, and 'tukde-tukde' gang. If you exhaust all these categories, it means there are no farmers among the thousands of protesters. If there are no farmers, why is the government talking to them?" he tweeted.

Meanwhile, as the Centre's talks with protesting farmers continued to be stalled, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held discussions on the farmers' issues with Punjab BJP leaders on Sunday in the presence of Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar.

At the nearly 40-minute meeting at Shah's residence here, the situation in Punjab and steps to tackle the protest that farmers plan to intensify in the coming days were also discussed. Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industries Som Parkash was also present.

    All this false propoganda and false narrative about Maoist and Khalistan links is the dirty work of the BJP IT cell and the prestitutes of the Godi Media who are a sold out commodity.

    The BJP Govt has made a mockery of Parlimentary Democracy by passing these Farm Bills without a discussion in the house or taken any of the stake holders into confidence. They finally passed it in the Rajya Sabha in a most decietful manner through a voice vote just to please their Crony Capitalist friends at the expense of the Farmers.

    We need to ponder that if Indira Gandhi could Nationalize so many private banks, then a National Govt in future should Nationalize all Ambani and Adani group of Companies that have so brazenly taken over so many public sector units and enterprises so that peoples enterprises can be restored.
