Farmers' open letter counters PM Modi, Narendra Tomar

A day ahead of observing ‘Shraddhanjali Diwas’ (Day of Homage) in memory of protesting farmers who died during the ongoing agitation, the farm unions on Saturday wrote a joint ‘open’ letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar saying it’s the farmers’ protest that compelled the opposition political parties to change their stand and not the other way round as is being erroneously propagated by the government.
