Farmers, who did not bring their Aadhaar cards, were denied entry into AICC president Rahul Gandhi’s interaction programme in Sindhanur on Sunday.

This left many farmers disappointed. “ I was not aware that Aadhaar card was mandatory for entry to the programme,” Syed Chand Pasha, a farmer from Sindhanur taluk, told The Hindu . I was keen to participate in the programme to bring farmers’ problems to Mr. Gandhi’s notice, he said.
