Indian farmers stage a âRail Rokiâ on the railway lines
âTHE CENTRE of Indian Trade Unions vehemently denounces the utterly humiliating and derogatory statement by the Prime Minister against the struggling farmers and their supporters on the floor of Parliament,â said CITU General Secretary Tapan Sen in a major statement last week.

âUnnerved by the growing support for the farmersâ demands and their determined struggle to achieve their just demands the Prime Minister has resorted to ridiculing âandolanâ itself, the basic right of the people in India and the pillar of a democratic society.
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) on Monday condemn misuse of power by Indian police on media covering the farmer protests in the country that resulted in the arrests of journalists.
