DELHI: India’s handling of the ongoing farmers protests, including the arrest of activist Disha Ravi and the temporary internet clampdown, was sharply attacked in the British Parliament on Monday, as it took up an e-petition on freedom of press and safety of the agitators for debate.The petition was introduced by Scottish National Party MP Martyn Day, who in his opening remarks, said that the merits of the three new farm laws were not up for debate as India as a sovereign state had the right to enforce legislations. “However, reports of usage of tear gas on protesters and suspension of internet has been seen and this is against international human rights,” he said.
