Declare Amma’s B’day as National Farmer’s Day, Says AIADMK

The AIADMK on Thursday requested the Union government to declare their late leader J Jayalalithaa's birthday – 24 Februrary – as the National Farmers' Day and award her with Bharat Ratna posthumously.

The party also resolved to whatever was necessary so that Jayalalithaa is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the Ramon Magsaysay award for implementing various welfare schemes.

The party passed a resolution to this effect at the general council meeting held in Chennai.

According to the resolution, Jayalalithaa had always called herself as a farmer and has implemented several welfare schemes for the farmers as the state Chief Minister.
