Al Jazeera
India’s foreign minister accused UK parliamentarians discussing farm protests of interfering in its internal affairs.
India’s foreign ministry has summoned the United Kingdom’s high commissioner over what it called “unwarranted and tendentious discussion” of Indian agricultural reforms in the British parliament. Three new agricultural laws introduced by India late last year have led to months of protests by farmers who say the legislation benefits large private buyers at their expense. A discussion among UK legislators on Monday has caused anger in New Delhi, which accused the parliamentarians of interfering in India’s internal affairs.More Related News
