'Aag laga do': Kamal Nath's incendiary video goes viral

A video of Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath has gone viral on social media platforms.

In the video, Nath is urging Congress workers to instigate farmers and stoke fire/trouble ("aag laga do") over the farmers’ protests.

Nath is seen saying that setting the farmers’ protests afire should be the main task, underlining that it was the perfect time to do so.

According to a report on Republicworld.com, the 20-second video was tweeted by Bharatiya Janata Party leader VD Sharma.

This comes in the wake of Congress admitting the existence of a 'toolkit' pertaining to the Central Vista Project, but maintains that there are parts of it that are fabricated. It has even filed an FIR against a few BJP leaders.

The farmers have been protesting against three farm laws which were passed by both the houses of parliament last year.
