Farmers who commit suicide are cowards, says BJP minister, draws flak from Rahul Gandhi</br><br> Haryana Agriculture Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader O P Dhankar has stoked a controversy with insensitive remarks that farmers who commit suicide are “cowards” and “criminals”, drawing severe flak from the Opposition with Rahul Gandhi raking it up in Parliament today. “Committing suicide is a crime, according to Indian law. Any person who commits suicide escapes from his responsibilities and leaves the burden on his wife and innocent children and such people are cowards,” Dhankar, who earlier headed the BJP’s Kisan Cell, said yesterday. While farmers were “crying with pain in their hearts”, the Haryana Minister was calling them “cowards”, Rahul Gandhi said amidst a chorus of “shame, shame” from the Opposition benches.
