In India, thousands of farmers protesting against agricultural reforms have threatened to block all entry points to capital New Delhi if their demands were not accepted.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has earlier resisted calls for the repeal of farm reforms that have ignited the biggest protests by farmers in New Delhi.

The leader of the Indian opposition Congress party, Rahul Gandhi, said the new laws would benefit big business and accused Modi of crony capitalism.
