NEW DELHI: Activists of the Kisan Khet Mazdoor Congress, led by its president and farmer leader from Maharashtra Nana Patole will gherao Parliament on Tuesday to protest the 'anti-farmer' policies of the Modi government.

Workers of the Kisan Khet Mazdoor Congress will resort to 'Sansad gherao' to press for their demands, including loan waiver for farmers and over non-fulfillment of promise to provide adequate Minimum Support Price (MSP) to them.

Senior leaders of the Congress will participate in the protest.
