Farmers Demand That PM Modi Announce A Law Encouraging MSP Guarantee Before Protest in Delhi Chalo March

New Delhi: On February 13, 2024, hundreds of farmer unions launched the “Delhi Chalo March,” a protest in which farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh marched to New Delhi to voice their concerns. A number of requests are made by the farmers, the primary one being the passage of legislation setting the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.

Leader of the farmers, Sarwan Singh Pandher, has requested PM Modi to stop the protest by introducing a legislation on MSP guarantee for farmers ahead of today’s farmers protest.
