New Delhi, January 3

The Congress on Monday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to clarify the remarks made by Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik in context of a meeting the two had to discuss the farmers’ agitation against anti agriculture reform bills.

In a viral video of an event Malik addressed in Haryana’s Dadri on Sunday, Malik is heard saying that when he went to meet the PM in respect of the farmers’ agitation they ended up fighting in five minutes.

Malik said, “When I went to meet the PM on the farmers’ issue we ended up fighting in five minutes. He was arrogant. When I told him 500 people had died the PM asked me whether they had died for him. I told him yes the farmers died because of him because he had become the king on the basis of their support. Then the PM told me to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Shah said people had clouded his vision and power of reason. Shah asked me to keep my meetings going.”
