New Delhi, Mar 13 (ANI): Reacting over Ariyalur farmer suicide issue, Congress leader Tom Vadakkan on Sunday said such incidents are very unfortunate. He said the farmer, who feeds the country, would definitely commit suicide if people like liquor baron Vijay Mallya will walk free even after taking crores of money. He urged the Centre to look into the matter seriously. Communist Party of India (CPI) leader D. Raja said it is wrong that a person, who takes so much of loan from the national banks, has escaped from the country whereas the farmers who take loans for their survival is beaten up and are compelled to commit suicide. A farmer committed suicide in Ariyalur district of Tamil Nadu after his tractor was impounded for non-payment of a loan.
