PM Modi to address nation through 'Mann ki Baat' today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation through his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' today. Addressing his monthly radio programme, Modi said the recent agriculture reforms have begun mitigating the troubles of farmers in a short span of time as he cited the example of a Maharashtra farmer who used the provisions of the new laws to get the money promised to him by a trader. His remarks come at a time when thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, have dug in their heels at Delhi's border points and hundreds have gathered at the city's Burari ground, united in their determination to hold protests against the new farm laws.
Earlier on November 17, PM Modi had invited suggestions from the people, for the 71st edition of the programme.
