Today's Highlighted Video Story: In India, as the farmer-government negotiation hit a deadlock, the agitation intensified against the corporates. The farmers threatened to block theDelhi-Jaipur Highway on Saturday, December 12. The BJP commissioned a media blitz to tackle the stalemate with farmers protesting the new agricultural laws. The central government on Friday began pushing a narrative that the "ultra-left" has hijacked the demonstrations. Through unofficial channels of communication referred to as "government sources", functionaries in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration drew a parallel between the farmers' agitation and the Bhima-Koregaon violence near Pune in 2018. Farmers' groups have rubbished the claims as "propaganda".
