Congress MPs From Punjab Burn Copies Of Farm Bills, Party Protests In Parliament

The Congress on Thursday said the farm sector legislations brought in by the government defeat the purpose of the Green Revolution and will be "a death knell for the future of farming" as it alleged that the Modi dispensation, akin to the coronavirus pandemic, was attacking lives and livelihood of farmers.

Opposing the bills, Congress MPs staged a protest in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Parliament Complex and raised slogans against the government.

Some Congress MPs from Punjab also burnt copies of the farm bills brought in by the government inside the Parliament Complex.
