For the last one year, thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan have been camping outside Delhi, demanding the repeal of the farm laws. Rakesh Tikait, a top farmer leader, said the protests would not stop before the laws were repealed in the session starting on November 29.
