Rejected petition Put pressure on the Indian govt to repeal the 3 farming laws leading to protests
The parliament can express their concern about the passing of the 3 recent farming laws without consultation with any farming body. The farmers are protesting in the freezing cold of Delhi for the past 24 days as they are terrified for their livelihoods. The govt wants corporatisation of agriculture
More details
The UK is a commonwealth country with very deep ties and a shared past with India. The UK parliament has clout in these matters. If they express concern, as the Canadian PM and the UN have done, it will hopefully influence the Indian government. The UK has a strong reputation for allowing protest and participation of its citizens in important decisions. The farming laws were almost brought in overnight with no discussion in the Indian parliament and with no consultation with the stakeholders.
