NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has termed the ongoing farmers protests as an insult to the country.

According to the media reports, the Indian prime minster for the first time gave his reaction since the protests started by the farmers against the new controversial agriculture laws.

The country is saddened over the contempt of the national flag (Tri-colour) on January 26, he added.
