At international meet, they express concern over state of democracy in India
There is growing concern abroad about the state of democracy in India, activists said during an international conference organised on Sunday in support of protesting farmers.
Addressing a virtual event called ‘Global Indian Diaspora in Solidarity with Indian Farmers,’ they said that the democratic world was worried over recent developments in India and the new farm laws would force farmers and migrants to resort to tenant farming.
