Callous NaMo unbothered and unmoved as farmers start drinking their own urine in protest Empty Callous NaMo unbothered and unmoved as farmers start drinking their own urine in protest

Tamil Nadu farmers protesting at Jantar Mantar drank urine on Saturday in another desperate bid to draw the central government's attention towards their plight.

Over the last 39 days, they have shaved half of their moustache and head, kept mice and snakes in their mouth, conducted mock funerals, flogged themselves and carried skulls of other farmers, who had committed suicide due to debt pressure.

The farmers, whose protest entered the 40th day on Saturday, drank urine even as police tried to stop them.

They have been demanding a loan waiver, a revised drought relief package and better support prices for their produce.

P Ayyakkannu, who is leading the protest, said: "The Union government is not giving us water. So we are consuming urine".

The protesters said on Saturday they would drink urine if the Centre failed to offer a solution to their problems within a day.

On April 10, they had stripped in front of the prime minister's office here to press for their demands.
