Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik launched a scathing attack on the Centre over the farmersโ€™ continued protest against the farm laws.

Malik said leaders in Delhi send condolence messages even when a dog dies, but they are not bothered about the โ€œdeath of 600 farmersโ€ protesting against the farm laws.

Governor Malik made the statement while speaking in a programme organised by Teja Foundation in Jaipurโ€™s Birla Auditorium on Sunday.

โ€œTill date, such a big movement has never happened. 600 people have been martyred in the farmersโ€™ movement so far. When an animal dies, there comes a condolence message from the leaders of Delhi. 600 of our farmers were martyred, but no message came from Delhi,โ€ a media report quoted Malik as saying.

โ€œLeaders in Delhi had sent condolence message for five-seven people who died in a fire in the hospital in Maharashtra,โ€ Malik said in the programme.

The Meghalaya Governor, who has been supporting the cause of the farmersโ€™ protest said the farmersโ€™ movement is also making an impact on the countryโ€™s armed forces as the farmersโ€™ sons are employed there.

Malik maintained that no minister visits villages of western Uttar Pradesh even at a time when there is any sorrow or suffering.

He questioned, โ€œWhatโ€™s the use of leaders ruling in Delhi?โ€

Governor Malik also lashed out at the Central Vista redevelopment plan, a project in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a personal interest, saying it would be better to build a world-class college, instead of a new Parliament building.
