New Delhi: Following reports of the death of a protesting farmer, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the BJP-led Centre saying "history will certainly demand an account of the farmers' killings". 


Taking to X, Rahul wrote, "The news of death of young farmer Shubhakaran Singh in firing on Khanauri border is heartbreaking, my condolences are with his family. Last time Modi's arrogance was accepted only after the sacrifice of more than 700 farmers, now it has again become the enemy of their lives. One day history will definitely demand an account of the 'killing of farmers' from the BJP hiding behind the friendly media #FarmerLivesMatter."
