No Foreign Govt Supports Farmers' Protest, Only 'Few Motivated' PIOs Backed It: Minister Tells Parliament

The Centre on Wednesday told the Parliament that no foreign government supported the farmers' protest against the Centre's agricultural laws. However, it said that protests related to the laws by a "few motivated" persons of Indian origins (PIOs) had been reported in Canada, the UK, the US, and some European countries.

AIMIM MP Imtiaz Jaleel Syed had put forth a list of questions to the Ministry of External Affairs over the PIOs and countries, if any, that had given their support to the agitation.

Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had made a comment on issues related to the farmers and it was conveyed to Canada that such remarks pertaining to the internal affairs of India are "unwarranted" and "unacceptable".
