Will challenge Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act in court : Amarinder

Chandigarh, Sep 16 (UNI) Terming the legislation a direct and deliberate assault by the Centre on the interests of the farmers, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has said the State Congress will challenge the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020, which was passed in the Lok Sabha today, in the court of law.
Riding roughshod over the concerns of the farmers, the central government, of which the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is a constituent, has imposed a central law on a state subject, thus eroding the federal structure of the country, said the Chief Minister. “We will challenge it in court,” he said on Tuesday night.
Asserting that he will not allow the interests of the farmers to be compromised in this shameless manner, Capt Amarinder said the enactment of the legislation is clearly a step towards abolition of the MSP regime.
