Protesting Farmers' "Kisan Sansad" Near Parliament Enters Second Day

The "Kisan Sansad" had a one-hour question hour where questions were thrown at the "agriculture minister" who tried his best to defend the Centre's new farm laws.

The "Kisan sansad", being held at Jantar Mantar near Parliament where the Monsoon Session is underway, entered its second day on Friday. Paramilitary forces and police personnel have been deployed at the site with heavy barricading at the entrance to avoid any kind of untoward incident. The protest by the farmers was peaceful. The farmers started "kisan sansad" (farmers' parliament) with speaker Hardev Arshi, deputy speaker Jagtar Singh Bajwa and the "agriculture minister". The sansad had a one-hour question hour where questions were thrown at the "agriculture minister" who tried his best to defend the Centre's new agriculture laws.
