In a controversial remark over farmers' death at various protest sites, Haryana Agriculture Minister J P Dalal on Saturday said they would have died even if they had stayed back home. Dalal made the remark in Bhiwani in response to a reporter’s query over the “death of 200 farmers”.
“Had they been at their homes, they would have died there also,” Dalal said.
“Listen to me, out of one to two lakh, do not 200 people die in six months?” he asked in response.
