In a fresh attack on the Central government over rising inflation, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Tuesday said that if someone raises its voice against the government, they are punished and compared the government North Korea.

Taking to Twitter, the farmer leader said that speaking against 'Raja' makes you worthy of punishments.

"Inflation has increased so much. If anyone raises his voice against the government, he is punished. Speaking against the 'Raja' means getting punished. Is he the 'Raja'? He is becoming like Kim Jong Un so that no one can raise his voice," Jong Un tweeted in Hindi.
