Letter Published in The National UAE on 24 March 15,Farmers are India’s backbone

I read your report Modi reassures farmers over land purchase laws (March 23) with great interest.

I would point out that the Modi government must convince and highlight the advantage of this bill to the opposition in order for the bill to actually benefit the farmers in question.

Additionally, as a result of this crisis, many infrastructure developments in the country are in a state of limbo. Will both the government and opposition look to India’s interest and act accordingly?
