Congress-SAD MPs clashed outside Parliament: Ravneet Bittu said – You were a minister when the Agriculture Act was passed, this is a fake demonstration, Harsimrat asked – why did Rahul walk out?

There has been a ruckus in the monsoon session of Parliament over the new agriculture law. Its effect was also seen outside Parliament on Wednesday. There was a war of words between Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu and Shiromani Akali Dal MP and former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on this matter. Bittu told Badal and Akali MPs who were protesting outside Parliament carrying placards that your performance is fake.

The Congress MP said that at the time when the government was getting the Agriculture Act passed in Parliament, the SAD was with the government. None of its leaders objected to the central government’s bill. When the bill was passed in the Parliament, the leaders of SAD resigned after going home to become friendly to the farmers. These people do drama every day, while the bill was passed while in the cabinet of these people.

Why didn’t Rahul and Sonia speak in Parliament: Harsimrat Kaur
On this, former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal said that when the bill was being passed in the Parliament, why did the Congress walk out at the time of the bill? Where was Rahul Gandhi when the bill was being passed in Parliament? Why did he not come to the Parliament as the voice of the farmers at that time? Why did Rahul and Sonia Gandhi not speak in Parliament against the bill.

Demonstration and politics continue regarding agricultural laws
The central government has brought three laws related to agriculture. All these three laws have already been passed by both the houses of the Parliament and have become laws. Farmers are protesting in Delhi against these laws. At the same time, politics is also going on on this.

What are those three laws?
1. Farmer’s Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill 2020
There is a provision in this law to create such an ecosystem, where farmers and traders will have the freedom to sell crops outside the mandi. The law seeks to promote trade within the state and between two states. Along with this, the matter of reducing the cost of marketing and transportation is also in this law.

2. Farmers (Empowerment-Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Agricultural Services Bill 2020
A provision has been made in this law for the National Framework on Agriculture Agreements. It connects farmers with sales of agricultural products, farm services, agribusiness firms, processors, wholesalers and retailers and exporters. Along with this, there is talk of supplying quality seeds to farmers, monitoring of crop health, credit facility and crop insurance facility.

3. The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill 2020
In this law, there is a provision to remove cereals, pulses, oilseeds, edible oils, onions and potatoes from the list of essential commodities. According to the government, this will enable farmers to get the right price for their crops, as the competition in the market will increase.
