    Farmers plan tractor rally to block Delhi-Jaipur highway tomorrow

    Farmers occupy toll plazas; allow toll-free movement

  • Protesting farmers, backed by the Bharatiya Kisan Union, have already occupied several toll plazas in Haryana, overpowering the staff and allowing vehicles to pass toll-free since Friday midnight. According to Agence France-Presse, some farmers were detained on the Delhi-Agra expressway.

    Why are the farmers protesting?

    Why are the farmers protesting?
  • For months, farmers have protested against the three farm laws passed in September.

    The protests intensified two weeks ago as thousands of farmers from several states reached Delhi, braving a police crackdown.

    Farmers fear that by allowing trade outside APMC mandis, the laws will weaken the mandis and they would be deprived of Minimum Support Prices (MSPs), leaving them vulnerable to exploitation by corporations.

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the reforms would increase the farmers' income.

    On Saturday, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar held a meeting with farmer leaders from Haryana in Delhi.

    Tomar said the farmers have submitted a memorandum supporting the three farm laws.

    "They also shared their experiences on how these laws are benefitting them," he said.

    Earlier this week, farmers rejected government's proposal

  • On Wednesday, the protesters had rejected the government's proposal to amend the farm laws and announced plans to intensify their protest.

    The government on Friday said the protesters are being misled by "Leftist and Maoist" elements. However, the farmers refuted these claims, accusing the government of attempting to defame them.

    The ruling BJP has now planned a massive nationwide campaign, NDTV reported.
