New Delhi/Chandigarh, July 27
Raising the voice of the farmers during the ongoing Monsoon session in Parliament, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab president and Member of Parliament, Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday, again sought an adjournment to the listed business of the Lok Sabha for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent importance, that are the black farm laws.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Bhagwant Mann while taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi’s comment stating that he had conveyed the message to the Modi government by driving a tractor during the ongoing monsoon session said, “Not by delivering a symbolic message for one day, the anti-farmer black laws will only be repealed when all the opposition parties will raise united voice in support of the farmers, inside and outside Parliament, on streets, Assembly and everywhere; and get on Modi and centre government’s nerves.” He said that the Congress should stop pretending and beside other issues, should only raise the matter of farm laws in Parliament.
Moving the adjournment motion for the sixth consecutive time, Bhagwant Mann stated that for the last eight months, the farmers of the country have been agitating to withdraw the agriculture laws, on the borders of Delhi. “Our country is an agricultural country, in such a situation, I urge that all the businesses of Lok Sabha should be postponed and discussion should be held to withdraw all the three agricultural laws,” he stated in the notice of adjournment motion.
The AAP MP further condemned the centre government’s stubborn stance for dismissing the adjournment motions moved by him from the beginning of the monsoon session. He said that the Modi government was not paying any heed to the demands of the farmers, but instead was preparing to put more burden on them by introducing the Electricity Amendment Bill, 2021, which will rob the states of their rights and deprive the farmers and other sections of power subsidy.
