For the uninitiated, the protesting groups have asked the government to withdraw all “anti-farmer laws and anti-worker labour codes and stop privatisation of public sector, including the financial sector and stop corporatisation of government-run manufacturing and service entities like railways, ordinance factories, ports etc.”
While a lot of opposition leaders like Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other people slammed the use of tear gas and water cannons, a lot of Twitter customers also spoke in the very same vein.

“We stand in the solidarity with our farmers. Modi must revoke the draconian farm laws which are made to enrich his greedy crony capitalist pals. #FarmersProtest,” mentioned an additional Twitter user.
