<p style="font-weight: 400;">Prime Minister slammed the opposition parties for misleading the farmers over the three new farm laws which have led to the ongoing protests at the borders of the national capital.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“People who are sitting in the Opposition and misleading farmers today were in the favour of these farm reforms during their government. They could not make a decision during their government. Today when the nation has taken a historical step then these people are misleading farmers,” the prime minister said.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The country is asking why small farmers who produce grains and pulses should not get the freedom to sell crops. Agricultural reforms were in demand for years. Many farmers’ organizations have also demanded in advance that they should be given an option to sell foodgrains anywhere,” PM Modi said.</p>
