Pleas against farm laws in Supreme Court
- 3 years ago
The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) has moved Supreme Court challenging the three farm reform laws passed by the Parliament recently that are now at the Centre of the massive protests.
On Wednesday, farmer leaders rejected a government proposal to amend the new agri laws, and announced they would intensify their agitation by blocking the Jaipur-Delhi and the Delhi-Agra expressways by Saturday, and escalating it to a nationwide protest on December 14.
This comes after the sixth round of talks between the government and farm union leaders, which was scheduled for Wednesday morning, was cancelled.
The farmer leaders have been adamant on their demand to scrap the laws, which they say will lead to dismantling of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism and mandis that ensure earning.
