India sees rallies in solidarity with farmers besieging Delhi
Representatives of various farmers organisations arrive for talks with the government representatives in New Delhi, India

RALLIES in solidarity with India’s farmers were held in multiple states today as the thousands-strong road blockades around the capital continued.

Miles of road on the New Delhi-Haryana borders remain occupied by farmers who have blocked off access with tractors and trailers and say they will not disperse until the Narendra Modi government withdraws its pro-corporate agricultural reforms.

Communists staged roadblocks outside central government offices in Tamil Nadu while the All India Kisan Sabha (all-India peasants’ front, the agricultural wing of the Communist Party of India-Marxist) set up roadblocks at Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh.
