After 8 months at Delhi's border, protesting farmers gather near Parliament

After eight months of camping at Delhi borders, farmers protesting against the three contentious agri laws reached Jantar Mantar on Thursday, a few metres away from Parliament where the Monsoon Session is underway.

After eight months of harsh winters, unforgiving heat, and rains, farmers protesting against the three contentious agri laws on Thursday reached Jantar Mantar, a few metres away from Parliament where the Monsoon Session is underway, unrelenting in their demand that the legislations be scrapped. “We have come this far after losing many of our own. We are ready for a long haul. We have come prepared,” said Harpal Singh from Bharatiya Kisan Union (Chaduni), as he wrapped his saffron safa around his head.
