On the growing opposition to the controversial agricultural law, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that the Modi government will not do anything against farmers' interests. He said, 'Being the son of a farmer, I want to make it clear that the Modi government will not do anything against farmers' interests.'
I appeal to all farmer organisations to come and talk to us to clear issues; I've already begun such meetings: Singh

Earlier in the Rajya Sabha, the Defence Minister described the bill as historic and said, 'I am also a farmer. I cannot believe in my life that the government will do something that will harm farmers.'
However, farmers say that the new law is a conspiracy to end the mandis in APMC (Agriculture Produce Market Committee) and that this will give a boost to private companies and they will not get the right price for their crops.
