After months of protests at the borders of Delhi, farmers were finally allowed to enter the national capital. With the monsoon session of parliament underway, a Kisaan Sansad (farmers’ parliament) of 200 people is also being held parallelly at Jantar Mantar. Though it is located only 1.6 km away from the Parliament House, none of the 788 members of the lower and upper houses are interested in visiting the Kisan Sansad.
