In India, the main opposition party Congress has urged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately repeal the three black farm laws and apologise to the farmers.

Talking to media, All India Congress Committee spokesman Randeep Surjewala said, never in last 73 years has a government been exposed in this fashion for its arrogance, intemperate behaviour and insensitivity towards the farmers.

He said the farmers are not fighting a legal issue but are fighting a struggle for livelihood and existence.
