Indian farmers protest against lopsided reforms

Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana states, have been protesting in the national capital since Nov. 29 to demand the repeal of what they termed as three anti-farmer laws.

They want the government to roll back three laws enacted in September to reform the farm sector. They say laws mean they must sell their produce on the open market and negotiate prices with wholesale buyers, removing the minimum support prices the government has provided.
