New Delhi: Farmers protest against the Modi government in India continues for 11th consecutive day.

The farmers have called for a nationwide strike on Dec 8 and intensified protests after their demands for repeal of three new agricultural laws were not met.

The fifth round of talks between the Indian government and the farmers held yesterday was also fruitless. Farmers have been tortured by Indian police.

Millions of farmers in India are protesting against the implementation of three new farming bills, which will change the rules of agribusiness.

Farmers say the cost of production has multiplied. Drought, rising prices of diesel, seeds, fertilizers and essential commodities made farming a loss-making business.
