Mr Chaudhary continued to give voice to the problems of farmers for a lifetime and worked for their welfare. The country will always remember his contribution."

Today, on the occasion of Farmers Day, I greet all the grain providers of the country. He has provided the country with food security. Some farmers are agitating about agricultural laws. The government is talking to them with full sensitivity. I hope that they will withdraw their movement soon. ''
