At Farm Protests, Prayer Meets For Those Who've Lost Lives

As protests against the centre's contentious agricultural laws near Delhi borders entered their 25th day, demonstrators paid tributes to those who've lost lives at the protest sites. They've have threatened to block Ghazipur border between Uttar Pradesh and the national capital. The warning to intensify protests comes amid assurances from the government on the minimum support price (MSP) for their agricultural produce, a concern repeatedly raised by the farmers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday yet again defended the new laws. "Agriculture reforms initiated six months back have started benefitting farmers," he said without referring to the protests.
