The Union Cabinet is likely to take the Union government’s decision this Wednesday to withdraw three controversial agriculture laws, following which the bills will be repealed in both the Houses of Parliament in the upcoming winter session.
Sources told CNN-News18 that the central government may propose a short discussion when it comes to withdrawing the laws. He said that Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar can speak in both the houses to explain to the country why these agricultural reforms were withdrawn by the government.
Once passed through Parliament’s repeal, the bills will be sent for the assent of the President.
Prime Minister on the occasion of Guru Parv on Friday Narendra Modi In his address to the nation, he said that despite the best intention of the government to press for reforms in the agriculture sector, they failed to convince all the farmers and hence they have decided to withdraw the agriculture bills. Making a very emotional pitch, PM Modi apologized to the farming community saying that they were unable to explain that it was a small section of farmers that how reforms were needed and that it would be most important for this section of the society.
Farmers from several unions have been camping at various borders in the NCR region since November last year to protest against the agricultural laws.
There were more than 10 rounds of meeting between the interlocutors sent by the government and Union Ministers Narendra Tomar Piyush Goyal and Som Prakash. He held talks with farmer unions but no solution came out.
The matter even reached the doorstep of the apex court and it was suggested that the implementation of agricultural laws be put on hold for a period of two years. But none of these arguments yielded any results, and throughout the year, farmers remain at the borders facing severe cold, scorching heat and an extended monsoon season.
In September last year, two out of three agriculture bills were passed by the upper house as opposition parties demanded voting. But Mr. Harivansh, who was serving on the chair, rejected it and thus the bills were passed by voice vote alone. Angry MPs climbed the table, threw paper on the chair, broke microphones and shouted slogans in protest.
Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu suspended nine members of Parliament for their conduct on the floor of the House.
