The official said that the farmers’ movement has taken more political color than the opposition of farmers.
The officer said, “Farmers’ organizations, which have remained silent for a decade, have broken the silence. The agricultural ordinance came in June, but there was hardly any opposition. The protests began only when Congress and other opposition parties stopped these laws from coming into force after Parliament passed these laws in September this year. ”
