Noted cricketer and media figure Monty Panesar spoke out about the ongoing farmer agitations on November 30.
Criticizing the Modi-led government, Panesar questioned about what protections are available for the farmer as a result of the new farm bills passed by the parliament.
In a tweet, the cricketer asked: "What happens if the buyer says the contract cannot be fulfilled because the quality of crop is not what was agreed"
What happens if the buyer says the contract cannot be fulfilled because the quality of crop is not what was agreed , what protection does the farmer have then? There is no mention of fixing a price??!! @BJP4India@narendramodi#kissanprotest#kissanektazindabadpic.twitter.com/E4XD50FcTF— Monty Panesar (@MontyPanesar) November 28, 2020
