Why Centre Should Not Indulge The Second Wave Of 'Farmer' Protests by Tushar Gupta - Apr 23, 2021 08:08 AM Punjab farmers protesting at Delhi border. Snapshot Given the implementation of the laws has been stalled by the Supreme Court, the government must use the leverage to have the protesters go back to their villages. Thousands of farmers from Punjab, on Wednesday (21 April), headed towards Delhi to protest against the now-stalled farm laws. The three farm laws, first introduced as ordinances by the Narendra Modi government last year, were aimed at liberalising the agricultural sector by opening up trade and commerce beyond the purview of Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs) and middlemen.
