DMK's Kanimozhi speaks to SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal

A delegation of Opposition leaders are heading towards Ghazipur border where farmers are protesting the farm laws since November 26. The delegation includes NCP MP Supriya Sule, DMK MP Kanimozhi, SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal and TMC MP Saugata Roy.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in New Delhi issued a statement on Wednesday to highlight that the Parliament of India had passed "reformist legislation" for the agricultural sector, which "a very small section of farmers" have some reservations about and therefore the laws have been kept on hold while talks are held.
