In a statement, Hooda said that financial assistance would be paid to the families of farmers from the personal finances of Congress MLAs.

Hooda, who is the leader of opposition, demanded that the state government should provide financial help and government jobs to one member of the family of such farmers. He said it is the responsibility of government to do so because all these people lost their lives because of the “stubborn attitude and insensitivity” of the government.
