Farmers Protest: Who are 'Aandolanjeevi'? | Bharat Ki Baat

As the protests over the new farm laws entered the 76th day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday addressed the issue in the Rajya Sabha. The word 'andolanjeevi' (professional protesters), used by the PM, has come in for sharp criticism from the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), for allegedly being derogatory to farmers.

Speaking about MSP on Monday, PM Modi has said MSP will continue. "Hollow statements on MSP won't help the farmers in any manner and such meaningless statements had been made in the past as well. Farmers will only gain in a meaningful manner if a legal guarantee is given on MSP for all crops," said the statement.
