Thousands of Indian farmers, angry over reform of the agriculture sector, held a third day of protests on the outskirts of the capital on Sunday, blocking roads into the city and defying a government appeal to move to a designated site.

The government on Saturday invited farmers’ union leaders for talks on new legislation to deregulate agricultural but that has not calmed farmers’ anger over what many see “anti-farm laws”, and their action appeared to be spreading.

The farmers object to legislation introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in September that would let farmers sell their produce anywhere, including to big corporate buyers like Walmart, not just at government-regulated wholesale markets where growers are assured of a minimum price. The protests began with farmers from the northern states of Haryana and Punjab on the outskirts of New Delhi on Friday, when police fired tear gas and water cannon in a bid to disperse them.

If India wants to be good buddy buddy with America against China, it must open and deregulate all of its economic sectors to let American corporations in 😁

Anti modi ....

A news agency of your repute should atleast make attempts to ver6what is actually happening. A reform which will actually help farmers is twisted by mischief makers, opponents, middlemen, mafia and terrorists sympathisers. This is the bane of a democracy. Too much freedom.

😀😀 its sponsored by sympathisers of khalistani terrorists lining in UK,CANADA.

Modi will be dumb to back down from these reforms simply because of few paid protestors.

Bare butt spanking voting Democrat.
