*Aurangabad: *

Union minister Raosaheb Danve today claimed that China and Pakistan werebehind the ongoing protests by farmers, who are seeking repeal of three newfarm laws.

He also alleged that Muslims were earlier misled over the Citizenship(Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), but asthose efforts did not succeed, now farmers were being told that they willface losses due to the new laws.

Mr Danve was speaking at the inauguration of a health centre at Kolte Takliin Badnapur taluka of Maharashtra’s Jalna district.

“The agitation that is going on is not that of farmers. China and Pakistanhave a hand behind this. Muslims in this country were incited first. Whatwas said (to them)? That NRC is coming, CAA is coming and Muslims will haveto leave this country in six months. Did a single Muslim leave?” hequestioned.

“Those efforts didn’t succeed and now farmers are being told that they willface losses. This is the conspiracy of other countries,” Mr Danve said.
