Give your views on the farming protests
I have been contacted by my local MP https://members.parliament.uk/member/4617/contact who is looking for viewpoints on the farming protests in India so that he can write appropriately on behalf of his Indian constituents, to the UK foreign minister. Please give your views on this thread so that I can share them.

We should expand on the statement, talk about the farm laws, nature of the protests, state of agriculture in the country.

Can you propose a draft of what you'd like to see added ?
Riya Sawant Thu 11 Feb 2021 4:46PM
I would prefer it if some of us could work together on the draft.

Sounds good. How about an audio conference? Suggest a time that works for you if that is okay.
Riya Sawant Fri 12 Feb 2021 12:45PM
Any time tomorrow (Sat 13 Feb) works for me. On Sunday, some time between 2 pm and 5 pm is also fine.
Pirate Praveen Fri 12 Feb 2021 6:55PM
OK how about Saturday 7pm ?
Riya Sawant Sat 13 Feb 2021 2:22AM
Sure. 7 pm today is okay.

But this has nothing to do with the current situation where in fact, the government hastily wrote really bad legislation that did not sufficiently consult the people who would be effected and resulted in mass demonstrations and the law being suspended in the supreme court.
