During a press conference, farmer leaders said that they held a tribute meeting of 40 farmers who were martyred in the ongoing dharna in Delhi in which more than 50 lakh people participated in 90 thousand protest meetings in 22 states.

They criticized the Modi government for serving foreign and corporate investment in farming adding that 70 crore Indians live on agriculture. Their livelihoods are at stake with these laws.

The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance & Farm Services Act, the Farmer's Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act will remove government control from the farming market, start free storage of food by companies and big businessmen and entice farmers into contracts with them. This will increase the debt burden on farmers and weaken food security, they said.
