Indian Farmers Reject Government's MSP Proposal, March to New Delhi to Resume

As tensions escalate, farmers demand guarantees for all crops and prepare for confrontation with security forces at the capital's borders.

Farmers in India have rejected the government's five-year MSP proposal for pulses, maize, and cotton, demanding guarantees for all 23 crops.
The deadlock continues as farmers prepare to resume their march to New Delhi, with security forces bolstering defenses at the capital's borders.
Farmers have equipped themselves with makeshift tanks and iron shields to counter security measures, including tear gas and barricades.
The government's proposal aimed at crop diversification and ensuring a safety net for farmers has been criticized for lacking transparency and inclusivity.
Farmers demand a comprehensive solution, including loan waivers and a legal guarantee for MSP on all crops, as national elections approach.
