He said our farmers are at Sindhu Border fighting for their rights for the last two years in which 700 people got killed. Their only fault was they were demanding legal guarantee on MSP, but in response they were being assaulted and tortured for projecting their demands.
It is very unfortunate that farmers are being attacked through drones, besides the concertina wire and other instruments used to stop them, which shows how anti-farmer is BJP Govt at Centre, they (farmers) will not back up, they will fight for their rights and the Congress Party shall continue to support their demands.
Wani further said that Congress party assures the farmers of the country that Minimum Support Price will get legal guarantee, it will be implemented in new Govt formation at Centre, then the farmers will be free to sell their production wherever they will like.

Referring to the denial of democratic rights in J&K, Wani said J & K has been without any representation for the last seven years. The BJP Govt from time to time used the security situation as excuse for delaying the elections, Now that the second term of the BJP Govt is coming to an end, besides the code of conduct is being enforced again in view of the Lok Sabha Elections, the ECI should also conduct assembly elections in J&K to ensure that public elect their own Govt without any further loss of time.
When the situation is conducive for Lok Sabha Elections, why not for Assembly elections, why the BJP Govt is shying away from Assembly elections in J&K, Wani questioned and said that BJP know people of J&K have rejected them for adopting anti-people policies and dividing the full-fledged state into two UT, besides snatching the democratic rights.
On the question of seat sharing in J&K, Wani said that seat sharing for upcoming Lok Sabha Elections will be announced shortly. INC, NC and PDP will fight the elections with great vigor and will ensure victory of INDIA Alliance candidates on all five Lok Sabha seats in J&K with a thumping majority.
