karnatakaUpdated: Dec 26, 2020, 22:49 ISTEven as former Karnataka chief minister and senior JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy batted for the central farm legislation, his father and former prime minister Deve Gowda criticised the Congress and said that the JDS cannot be finished. Hence, I personally feel that farmers should have an open mind towards ‘experimenting’ with the new legislation. But there has to be proper coordination between the Centre and the protesters,” Kumaraswamy tweeted. Close on the heels of concern expressed by the Canadian prime minister, parliamentarians from the US and Britain too have expressed their concern about the episode, he pointed out. “It is my sincere wish that the reputation earned by India at the international level and its image should not be dented by the new farm legislation as well as the protests against them,” he added.
