As protests against the contentious agricultural laws near Delhi borders enter their 25th day, demonstrators have threatened to block Ghazipur border between Uttar Pradesh and the national capital. The warning to intensify protests comes amid assurances from the government on the minimum support price (MSP) for their agricultural produce. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday yet again defended the new laws, saying ‘agriculture reforms have started benefitting farmers’.
