Farmers have been protesting at various border points of Delhi, demanding a repeal of the new farm laws
NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday summoned the British high commissioner and conveyed strong opposition to the "unwarranted" and "tendentious" debate on the farmer protests by a section of UK parliamentarians in the House of Commons.
Foreign secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla told the UK high commissioner to India that such a discussion represented a "gross interference" in the politics of another democratic country.
"He advised that British MPs should refrain from practising vote bank politics by misrepresenting events, especially in relation to another fellow democracy," the government said in a statement.
