The DMK-led opposition in Tamil Nadu has embarked on a day-long hunger strike in support of farmers protesting against the three farm laws enacted by the Centre recently.
Farmers, mainly from Punjab and Haryana, have been protesting outside Delhi for over three weeks against the central legislations.
“The central government said that those protesting against the farm laws are anti-nationals. We condemn it. We stand in support of the farmers” said DMK President MK Stalin.
