Chandigarh, October 20
The two-day Punjab Vidhan Sabha special session resumed on Tuesday with Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh addressing the House and moving a resolution rejecting the three agriculture laws passed by Parliament.
Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu spoke on the Bills. He said that Punjab made the country food surplus and fed 80 crore people.
He also spoke of discrepancies in the rise of incomes of other sections of society and farmers, saying that that, “Our Constitution is being violated by the Centre-Punjab naal dhakka ho riha hai, he thunders.”
“It is a conspiracy to make Punjab helpless, when corporates enter trade of agriculture products,” he said.
Sidhu alleged: “You (referring to the BJP) want to hand over the agriculture to Ambani and Adani.”
As per The Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce Special Provisions and Punjab Amendment Bill no sale of paddy and wheat in Punjab will be valid unless it is paid equal to or over MSP.
