Synopsis
The farmers said they needed to discuss the proposal and assess the general sentiment. “Our stand is for the repeal of the laws,” farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal told. “The government came up with a fresh proposal to suspend the laws for a year to 1.5 years and even mentioned once a period of two years, and giving an affidavit to the Supreme Court on the same.”

The suspension could mean the laws being inoperative until after elections next year in Punjab, a state where the BJP is facing intense political opposition.
