Answer:
The 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest is an ongoing protest against three farm acts which were passed by the Parliament of India in September 2020.
Farmer unions and their representatives have demanded that the laws be repealed and have stated that they will not accept a compromise. Farmer leaders have welcomed the Supreme Court of India stay order on the implementation of the farm laws but rejected the committee appointed by the Supreme Court.[14] Farmer leaders have also rejected a government proposal, dated 21 January 2021, of suspending the laws for 18 months Eleven rounds of talks have taken place between the central government and farmers represented by the farm unions between 14 October 2020 and 22 January 2021; all were inconclusive. On 3 February, farmer leaders warned of escalating the protest to overthrowing the government if the farm laws were not repealed. The stay order on the implementation of the farm laws remains in effect,and the Supreme Court appointed committee continues with its tasks related to the farm laws.Six state governments (Kerala, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Delhi and West Bengal) have passed resolutions against the farms acts and three states (Punjab, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan) have tabled counter legislation in their respective state assemblies. None of the counter legislation passed the respective state governors.
The acts, often called the Farm Bills, have been described as "anti-farmer laws" by many farmer unions, and politicians from the opposition also say it would leave farmers at the "mercy of corporates".The farmers have also demanded the creation of an Minimum Support Price (MSP) bill, to ensure that corporates cannot control the prices. The government, however, maintains that the laws will make it effortless for farmers to sell their produce directly to big buyers, and stated that the protests are based on misinformation

Explanation:
A group of 87 food advocacy organisations and farmers from the US has expressed its solidarity with the farmers’ protests against the Farm Laws which have been ongoing for close to three months at Delhi’s borders. Farmers from Punjab have been protesting against the laws since July last year.
The farmers’ agitation has also led to massive mahapanchayats – essentially large village council meetings – being organised in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab and in other states. One such maha rally in Barnala on Sunday reportedly attracted over two lakh farmers and workers.
