Farmers Have Right To Protest, But Can't Block Roads: Supreme Court | Read

The farmers' protest at the borders of Delhi -- which is on its 23rd day -- must continue and the national capital cannot be blocked, the Supreme Court said today while hearing a series of petitions on the issue. Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, who said yesterday that the matter must be handed over to a committee, said the panel must have "independent members with knowledge of agriculture and hear both sides and give report on what is to be done". Meanwhile, the "protests can continue without violence and the police will not do anything (to stop the protests)," the Chief Justice said.
