Supporting the farmers agitation, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President, Sharad Pawar asked them to continue the stir till their demands were met. Farmers in the country are on a 10-day strike since June 1 demanding remunerative prices for their produce and waiver of farm loans. Pawar reminded the government of the assurances they had given the farmers and not fulfilled, which has forced them to take this drastic step.
