New Delhi, Jan 12 (IANS): Farmer s agitation against three newly enacted farm laws entered the 48th day on Tuesday and the apex court is to pronounce its order soon on the petitions challenging the validity of these laws.
All India Kisan Sabha General Secretary Hannan Mollah told IANS on Tuesday that the farmer organisations respect the Supreme Court but they are unwilling to go before any committee which may be appointed by the apex court.
He clearly said, These acts are not in favour of farmers, so we are demanding to repeal it.
India’s Supreme Court has indefinitely placed on hold three controversial farm laws that have triggered the biggest farmers protest in decades and formed a committee to resolve the impasse between the government and the farmers.
However, farm leaders spearheading the six-week long stir vowed not to call off the protest that has seen tens of thousands of farmers camp on major highways on the outskirts of New Delhi demanding the roll back of the legislation.
