Madhura Swaminathan, daughter of late agricultural scientist M.S. Swaminathan, criticized the government’s treatment of farmers marching to Delhi, emphasizing they should not be labeled as criminals.<\/p>\n

Her remarks come amidst tear gas usage by authorities and border closures to deter farmers demanding a law guaranteeing minimum support prices for crops.<\/p>\n
