On Friday, the Congress party reaffirmed its support for farmers' demands, noting that their protests have received significant encouragement from Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.
This assertion by the opposition party precedes a scheduled march of farmers to Delhi from their protest location at the Punjab and Haryana border.
