Apart from them, United Kingdom (UK) Member of Parliament Claudia Webbe also expressed solidarity with the Indian farmers.

Talking about the farmers’ protest, last month, on January 26, 2021, Republic Day, the farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh took out a tractor rally in New Delhi which turned violent. They even attacked Delhi Police personnel in ITO before storming the Red Fort.

The farmers have been protesting against the three enacted farm laws- Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
