Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned early on Friday after fiery debates between the Centre and the Opposition on the three farm laws. Proceedings will resume again on Monday.
Earlier in the day, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar asserted that there was nothing wrong in the new agriculture legislations, alleging that the Opposition was misleading and misinforming the farmers. His comments were met with strong objections from opposition members who accused the minister of lying.
During the debate, Congress MP Partap Bajwa criticised the government for the crackdown on the farmers’ protest, saying the barricades at the Ghazipur protest site looked like the Berlin wall. Party leader Anand Sharma called India the “internet shutdown capital” of the world.
