Farmers' stir: Kejriwal observes day-long fast; urges Centre to scrap agri laws

India TV News  

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will today observe a fast in solidarity with the farmers protesting against the Centre's new farm laws. The chief minister said the Centre should immediately accept all demands of the farmers who have been protesting on Delhi's borders for the past two weeks. Kejriwal expressed anguish that some central ministers and BJP leaders were labelling protesting farmers as "traitors and anti-nationals". Enacted in September, the three farm laws have been projected by the central government as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove the middlemen and allow farmers to sell anywhere in the country.
