Karnataka: JDS leader Kumaraswamy supported agricultural laws

Kumaraswamy also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to end this stalemate.
He said that the movement of farmers is damaging the country’s image internationally. He also called for proper coordination between the Center and the farmers for this.
