The farmers have been protesting on different borders around Delhi since November 26 last year against the three farm laws introduced by the government. The farmers want the government to repeal the farm laws and have been protesting for over six weeks now.

Recently, lawyer and activist Prashant Bhushan also shared an old video of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee talking in support of farmers and farmers' protests.

Check out the full video here-

भाजपा के भक्त अटल बिहारी वाजपेई का 1980 का भाषण किसानों और उनके ऊपर सरकार के अत्याचार के बारे में सुन लें! pic.twitter.com/nko4wNdlgU

The video is from the year 1980, and it showcases Atal Bihari Vajpayee addressing a crowd about the plight of the cotton and jute farmers in the country. He also criticized the then government for setting the prices of the crop and not being able to buy the crops themselves.

Vajpayee explained in the video that the small-scale farmers were unable to sell their crops as they don’t have proper storage space and they had to then sell them at a lesser price and that’s why the farmers were agitated.

This video on the internet has over 34.8K views and deserves a lot of more considering the situation of the farmers in our country. So, here’s what people on the internet have to say about the video-

Aaj agar Atal je hoty to bohot dukhi hoty party ka ye ravaiya dekh ke, party path brhast ho gyi hai atal je ke adarsho ko sub bhool gay hai... Ye atyant dukhad hai.. Kya wo sirf sradhanjali dene tak seemit reh gay hai...

Sir we don't have a gem like Atal ji in oppositions that's the main reason for today's turmoil.

Miss you Atalji, I remember as a teenager I was way happier during his reign

A few users remembered Atal ji and appreciated him for being the best. And a few Twitter users couldn’t believe that we are still discussing the same topic and couldn’t really make any progress in so many years for the farmers.
