‘Will stand as a wall to protect farmers’
Hindustan Times
|August 16, 2025

Prime Minister Narendra Modi pushed for greater self-reliance, local manufacturing of everything from fertilisers to EV batteries, and pledged to protect farmers amid trade tensions with the US, delivering his 12th straight Independence Day address on Friday.
“Farmers, fishermen, cattle rearers are our top priorities”, Modi said in his customary address at the Red Fort. “Modi will stand like a wall against any policy that threatens their interests. India will never compromise when it comes to protecting the farmers,” he said.
The agriculturists of the country made the country self-sufficient, Modi added, underscoring the fifth-largest economy's stand on not opening up the farm sector during US-India trade talks.
