The AAP convener criticised the Centre’s handling of the farmers’ issue in the wake of the ongoing farmers’ protest. He asked why the government was not allowing the farmers to come to Delhi and voice their concerns. “If the farmers want to come to Delhi, let them come to Delhi, what is wrong in that? They just want to raise their voice as everyone has a right to voice his concerns as per the constitution,” Kejriwal added.
