Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said people who have "suffered false rhetoric" in the past are not ready to believe the words of the prime minister on repealing the farm laws.

He said this as farmer unions decided to continue their year-long agitation at Delhi's borders even after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the decision to withdraw the three farm laws. "People who have suffered false rhetoric are not ready to believe the words of the PM. Farmers' Satyagraha continues," Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi, using the hashtag "#FarmersProtest continues".
