The Sena also claimed that the government was mulling to close down Internet services in Nashik and asked if it compares "Nashik with unpeaceful Kashmir and protesting farmers with the anti-nationals who throw stones at the Army".
"The fire of farmers anguish cannot be doused merely by making promises. Monday's Maharashtra bandh was a challenge to the government. If appropriate lessons are not learnt by the government, the lava of farmers' pain will create havoc for it," the Sena said in an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
It added that the Sena will continue to support the strike till the end.
The Sena said that instances of violent protests should be seen as an outburst of farmers' anger towards government apathy.
"Will farmers be understood at least now ?" it questioned.
The edit also noted that the government will slowly feel the pinch of the unity of farmers and will be forced to give in to their demands of a complete loan waiver and a good price for their agricultural produce.
