The government that swept to power on the back of farmers' struggles is today insulting those very farmers by branding them as "low caste", SJB MP S.M. Marikkar said.
He recalled that prior to the election, government leaders had declared that once the mud is washed off, a farmer is fit even for kingship.
Marikkar further noted that by denigrating the farming community as "low caste", government leaders are behaving as though they themselves belong to the "high castes".
