New Delhi: Farmers protesting against the Centre’s new farm laws clanged thalis (plates) and raised slogans as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio address ‘Mann ki Baat’ was broadcast on Sunday morning. The protest took place in Rohtak in BJP-ruled Haryana.
The “thali bajaao” (clang plates) protest during the PM address was announced last Sunday, NDTV reported.
Making the announcement, Swaraj India chief Yogendra Yadav had said, “On December 27 when the Prime Minister gives his Mann Ki Baat radio address, farmers will say ‘we are tired of listening to your Mann ki Baat, when will you listen to our Mann ki Baat?’ So we will bang utensils so that the noise of his Mann ki Baat doesn’t reach us.”
Incidentally, the idea of clanging plates and clapping was floated by the PM himself earlier this year to felicitate frontline workers battling coronavirus during the lockdown.
