Will stand as a wall to protect farmers: Modi

“Farmers, fishermen, cattle rearers are our top priorities”, Modi said in his customary address at the Red Fort in New Delhi, soon after hoisting the Tricolour under a cloudy, monsoon sky in New Delhi.

“Modi will stand like a wall against any policy that threatens their interests. India will never compromise when it comes to protecting the interests of our farmers,” he said.

The agriculturists of the country made the country self-sufficient, Modi added, underscoring the fifth-largest economy’s stand on not opening up the farm sector during the US-India trade talks.
