Congress has consistently been seen supporting the farmers in protest against the agricultural laws. While supporting the farmer's movement, Rahul Gandhi on his official Twitter handle writes, "Farmers' non-violent satyagraha is intact even today. But the exploitative government does not like this."

किसानों का अहिंसक सत्याग्रह आज भी अखंड है
लेकिन शोषण-कार सरकार को ये नहीं पसंद है
इसलिए #आज_भारत_बंद_है #IStandWithFarmers
