Indian farmers shout anti government slogans during a protest against new farm laws on December 13, 2020 at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border in Ghaziabad, India. As the protest over contentious farm laws continues to intensify, farmer unions on Saturday announced that they will observe an hunger strike on December 14 to press for their demands. The farmers on that day also plan to protest outside the offices of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party across India. Hundreds of farmers from states like Punjab and Haryana have blocked some of the highways leading to Delhi borders for more than two weeks now against the new farm laws which they fear will prompt the government to stop making direct crop purchases at minimum state-set prices, called minimum support price.
