Speaking in the Indian Parliament meeting in plenary session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has canceled any gap in mediation on the reform of the agricultural trade against which the farmers have been protesting throughout the country for over two months.
Modi called on farmers to stop their agitation and give reform a chance.
The Premier criticized the oppositions "which ride and foment protest for political interests".
Modi reiterated that the new modalities of trade launched by the contested reform will favor small farmers and also lashed out at "professional agitators, parasites who present themselves at every protest" stigmatizing "the international conspiracy of those who criticize India".
"At one time - he said - when we quoted the acronym FDI, we meant Foreign Direct Investment, foreign direct investment; today the acronym stands for Foreign Destructive Ideology, a destructive foreign ideology".
Modi concluded by arguing that the references to the Sikh minority fighting for the creation of the independent state of Khalistan aim to put all Sikhs in a bad light, of which, instead, the whole country is proud: "The nation owes a lot to Sikh community ", said the premier.
