The government and Parliament have great respect for farmers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier said, adding that there have been continuous talks with them over their issues.

Is his reply to the Lok Sabha on the motion of thanks to the President's address, PM Modi defended the farm laws and sought to allay the fears over the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the mandi system.

"After farm laws were passed, not a single mandi has been shut anywhere in the country. Not just that, MSP has also been given... that too more MSP than was given previously," he said.

Meanwhile, the Congress and the Trinamool walked out, shortly after the Prime Minister said the slogan-shouting "was a planned strategy to drown out reason and hide the truth".

Soon after PM Modi concluded his speech, Lok Sabha passed by a voice vote the motion to thank the President for his address to both Houses of Parliament.
