Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday slammed the NDA government at the Centre alleging that they were protecting the interests of corporates and not farmers, and demanded withdrawal of the three contentious farm laws, against which farmers are protesting near Delhi.

While inaugurating a Left front-supported meeting at the Martyr'scolumn here to express solidarity with the agitating farmers, he also accused the union government of taking back to back tormenting steps against ryots and attempting to quell the protests by creating communal division in the society.
