Indian farmers' protest was a protest against three farm acts. The acts, often called the Farm Bills had been described as "anti-farmer laws" by many farmer unions and politicians from the opposition who said that it would leave farmers at the "mercy of corporates". The protests also demanded the creation of a minimum support price (MSP) bill, to ensure that corporates cannot control the prices.

Government, however, maintained that the laws would make it effortless for farmers to sell their produce directly to big buyers, and stated that the protests are based on misinformation.
