Earlier today, the Opposition leaders joined the farmers at Jantar Mantar during their protest against debated farm laws.

"Today all opposition parties have gathered here (Jantar Mantar) to extend their support against 'Kala Kanoon' (farm laws). We want a discussion over Pegasus, but they (Centre) are not letting it happen. Narendra Modi has intercepted every Indian's phone," the Wayanad MP said as quoted by news agency ANI.

Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Ambika Soni, Gaurav Gogoi; Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, RJD's Manoj Jha, DMK's T Siva, were among prominent opposition members who participated in the protest today. On the other hand, TMC, BSP, and AAP did not participate in the agitation.

The politicians raised slogans while carrying a placard reading 'Save Farmers, Save India' as they reached the protest site to extend their support to farmers.

The opposition parties' uproar has been disrupting parliamentary activities in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Both Houses have been witnessing protests since the beginning of the monsoon session on July 19 over demands of repealing three farm laws and announcing a probe into the Pegasus snooping allegations.

Farmers have been protesting on different borders on the National Capital since November 26 last year against the three newly enacted farm laws: Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farms Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
