Government pursuing misplaced priorities

There has been an outpouring of support from across the world protesting the Modi government's contentious farm bills. The rally of support even extended to the recent India-Australia ODI and Canberra Stadiums with the hashtag # "We support Indian Farmers -- No Farmer No Food".

The government seems to be pursuing misplaced priorities thereby incurring the wrath of the people and making it a laughing stock at the international level.
