India farmer protests: Has PM Narendra Modi gone too far? | UpFront
Listen now
Description
In this episode of UpFront, we debate India’s new agricultural laws with Anila Singh, spokeswoman from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, and Yogendra Yadav, president of the Swaraj India Party. The reforms have triggered huge protests, with farmers saying the laws will put them at the mercy of big business but the government insists it will actually benefit them. And in a Special Interview, we ask Amnesty International’s Saad Hammadi about Bangladesh's plan to transfer thousands of Rohingya refugees to a remote island. - Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/
