Meanwhile, the Supreme Court said it will not interfere with the farmers protest against three agricultural laws. “We are of the opinion at this time that the farmers’ protest should be allowed to continue unimpeded and without protesters or police disrupting the peace,” the Supreme Court said.
Earlier today, the supreme court suggested the idea of suspending the controversial farm laws to allow negotiations with agitated farmers, which the Center objected saying that farmers would not show up at the talks.
