On December 22, News24 tweeted a video reporting that BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri hurled expletives at protesting farmers. In the video, Bidhuri is heard saying, “There are 80 crore farmers in the country, and how many are sitting at the border? 500 in one place, 250 in another, and a group of 1500 somewhere else. So with this funding from Canada and Pakistan, the [bleep] — which every village has five to seven of — these [bleep] are the ones protesting.” (archived link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Alt News found a 17-minute video on BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri’s Facebook page posted on December 21. Its description says, “The political manifestos of opposition parties protesting the [farm] bill contain these same agriculture reform laws. They are wrongly claiming that the Modi government came up with them.”<\/p>\n

The last part of the clip, specifically after the 16:20 mark, is the portion that contains the purported derogatory comment directed at the farmers \u2014 “There aren’t 4,000 farmers in the country, but 80 crore. How many farmers are there? 80 crore. And how many are sitting at the borders protesting? Somewhere 500, somewhere 250 and half a thousand. So with money coming from Canada and Pakistan, a handful of loafers<\/strong> from every village is here because they are getting hot food, clean water, and good quality blankets for free with calls to remove Modi from power. That’s why those people are sitting out there, brothers and sisters.” In this section, the word ‘thalua’<\/strong> (loafer\/ someone who has time to waste) has been deemed abusive.<\/p>\n

However, in the same video, 16 minutes prior to this portion, Bidhuri says, “We must resolve to tell farmers that 4,000 -5,000 middlemen<\/strong> are threatening to block Delhi. They are aiming their guns on the shoulders of farmers. There are 80 crore farmers in the country, not 4,000.”<\/p>\n

While Bidhuri did not abuse the farmers, he used derogatory language against them. Lakhs of farmers agitating against the centre’s farm legislation were termed ‘cheaters’<\/strong> by the BJP MP. Moreover, he kept stressing on the number 4,000 even as the number of people protesting at Singhu border is several times higher.<\/p>\n

Posted by Ramesh Bidhuri<\/a> on Monday, December 21, 2020<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Multiple other leaders of the BJP, including Priti Gandhi and Puneet Aggarwal, have tried to push a similar narrative to discredit the protest. They falsely claimed<\/a> that farmers at the border were waving Pakistani flags and raising pro-Khalistan slogans.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri did not hurl expletives at protesting farmers. But he did term them ‘loafers’ suggesting that the protesters have nothing better to do and have gathered in the national capital for ‘freebies’. He also branded them as ‘middlemen’ funded by Pakistan to topple the Narendra Modi government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
