Punjab becomes first state to pass resolution against new farm laws

Punjab becomes first state to pass resolution against new farm laws

Chandigarh, Oct 20 (UNI) Punjab on Tuesday became the first state to formally reject the Centre’s new farm laws, with the state Assembly unanimously passing a resolution against the legislation and the proposed Electricity Amendment Bill, and seeking their immediate annulment along with a new Ordinance to protect MSP and ensure continuance of procurement by the Centre.
The House passed by voice vote the three farm amendment Bills. All MLA unanimously voted in favour of the Resolution and the Bills, except the two BJP members who were absent from the House during the special session of the Vidhan Sabha.
The Chief Minister informed the House that he had sought time from President Ram Nath Kovid to raise Punjab’s concerns on the farm laws and seek his intervention to protect the farmers. He later led all MLAs to the Punjab Raj Bhawan to submit to Governor VPS Badnore the resolution passed by the House.
Thanking all members for passing supporting the Resolution, the Chief Minister said this will send a positive message to the farmers. He assured all support to the farmers and vowed not to let Punjab’s peaceful atmosphere be vitiated at any cost.
