Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad on Wednesday demanded that the government withdraw the three contentious farm laws over which the farmers have been agitating for the past over two months and urged it not to make it a prestige issue.
The government and opposition reached an agreement over a discussion on farm laws and arrived at a consensus to discuss the issues relating to farmers’ protest for 15 hours as part of the Motion of Thanks to the President’s speech to the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament.
