New Delhi, Sep 13 (UNI) A day ahead of the beginning of the Monsoon Session of the Parliament, the Congress on Sunday said it will raise the issues of decline in economy, Corona and Chinese transgression in the Parliament.
Addressing a press conference here, the Party spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said that the Congress will oppose the Bills related to the agriculture sector as they have provision to end the system of providing mandi and minimum support price to the farmer.
“In the same way, in the proposed Banking Bill, there is a provision to harm the interests of common people, abolishing the rights of farmers' loan waiver, so the Congress will strongly oppose the three agriculture related bills as well as the ordinance changing the banking sector”, Mr Ramesh said.
Congress spokesman also said that Opposition is being united against these Bills in Parliament as the ruling party is not in majority in the Rajya Sabha, so the Congress is in touch with the Opposition parties not to allow these bills to be passed.
Referring to his party’s stand on PM Cares Funds for COVID 19, he said that the Government plans to pass the ordinance issued for the Prime Minister's Care Fund, but there should be transparency regarding the money deposited in this fund and provision should be made in the Bill and to maintain transparency there must be a provision of CAG audit into it.

Describing the pathetic condition of the Indian economy, Mr Jairam Ramesh said that the state of the economy has become catastrophic and unemployment has reached a peak, so they will also raise this issue vigorously in Parliament.
Regarding the economic policies, the Congress Party will question the Government about the measures by the government to bring the economy back on track. Unemployment has reached a peak and the crisis has arisen in front of the small scale industry, the government needs to answer this question, he added.
Mr Ramesh further said that the issue of Chinese transgression on LAC remains the biggest crisis and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had tried to mislead the country on this issue, so he should tell what is the situation there today. The country wants to know from Mr Modi about the status quo on the China border.
In response to a question, he said that sick or elderly Members of the Parliament who have been advised not to participate in the proceedings of the House due to Kovid-19, should be provided the facility of speaking in the House through video conferencing.
