We stand firmly with demands of farmers and their peaceful agitation, says party
The Haryana Congress Legislature Party on Wednesday decided to move a no-confidence motion against the BJP-JJP government in the next Assembly session on the Centre’s farm laws issue.
The CLP also decided to move a resolution in the Assembly to reject all the three laws. Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said they would also press for a Bill to amend the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act so that farmers can get guaranteed minimum support price.
Farmers have been agitating for the past 36 days now without redressal, he says
The Haryana Congress Legislature Party on Thursday passed a resolution in support of the agitating farmers against the Centre’s three contentious agricultural laws.
At the CLP meeting held here, a two-minute silence was also observed as a mark of respect to all those farmers who had lost their lives during the ongoing farmers’ agitation.
After the meeting, leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda told journalists that farmers have been agitating for the past 36 days now at the Delhi border and other parts of the State in bitter cold and at least 42 farmers have lost their lives and hence it is important to discuss the issue of farmers. “On December 7, we wrote to the Governor demanding a special session of the Assembly but the Governor has not accepted that demand till date,” he said.
