Om Birla vs Abhishek Banerjee In Lok Sabha As Trinamool Shreds Budget 2024

Banerjee claimed that the three farm laws, which were later repealed by the Centre, were not discussed. The Speaker insisted they were debated for five-and-a-half hours.

Banerjee, who represents West Bengal's Diamond Harbour constituency, said three farm laws were passed without consulting with farmers, their organisations and Opposition parties.

However, Speaker Om Birla immediately intervened and said, “To set the record straight. This House discussed the issue for five-and-a-half hours.”
