TN CM meets protesting farmers at Jantar Mantar

New Delhi, Apr 23 (IBNS): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami on Sunday met the Tamil Nadu farmers, who have been protesting at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar for the last 39 days.

He urged them to end their protests.

The state Chief Minister told the protesting farmers that he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday.

Palanisawmi assured them that he would submit a memorandum to the PM highlighting their plight.

In order to grab the attention of the Prime Minister towards their demands, protesting farmers drank urine, on Saturday, media reports.

The farmers acted according to their earlier warning that they would be compelled to drink their own urine, if their demands were not fulfilled.

They had been protesting for the last 39 days against the central government, over the demands of loan waive and better drought relief packages.

The protesting farmers were seen to perform several acts like keeping snake in the mouth and also stripped outside the resident of the Prime Minister in early April.
