She was accompanied by the other party leaders and was seen interacting with the late farmers' family.


On her way, the Congress leader was seen cleaning the windshield of her vehicle.

Earlier today, vehicles in her cavalcade collided with each other on Hapur Road, on her way to Rampur. However, no injuries were reported.


Navreet Singh died in the clash after his tractor overturned after ramming into a barricade.

Delhi Police had released CCTV footage showing the farmer's tractor overturning after ramming into barricades at ITO.


Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has conducted three press conferences in the last 15 days and had put forth the demand of repealing the farm laws.


Congress has been continuously maintaining its stand on Farm Laws against the government and demanding a repeal of the laws.
