New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said he was "deeply shattered" and "disappointed" over the suicide committed by a farmer and told the farming community not to consider themselves alone.
"Gajendra's death has saddened the nation. We are deeply shattered and disappointed. Condolences to his family," he said in a tweet while referring to the suicide committed by the farmer at a rally.
"At no point must the hardworking farmer think he is alone. We are all together in creating a better tomorrow for the farmers of India," he added.
Gajendra Singh, a farmer from Dausa in Rajasthan, committed suicide 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.
A father of three, Gajendra climbed a neem tree in Jantar Mantar, a stone's throw away from Parliament, put his 'gamcha' (towel) around his neck and tied it to a branch.
