Cong gives notice for adjournment motion on farmer's suicide

NEW DELHI: The issue of suicide by a farmer in Delhi is set to generate heat in the Lok Sabha on Thursday with Congress giving a notice for adjournment motion on the matter.

Congress members KC Venugopal, Rajeev Satav, Deepender Singh Hooda and Ravneet Singh Bittu have given notices to adjourn the Question Hour in the House.

Gajendra Singh, a distressed farmer from Dausa in Rajasthan, committed suicide yesterday by hanging himself from a tree in full public view in the presence of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal at an Aam Aadmi Party rally.

The suicide by the farmer triggered a blame game with AAP and BJP attacking each other over the tragedy, while the Congress targeted both the parties for it and demanded registration of a case of abetment to suicide against the Centre and Delhi governments.
