New Delhi: Congress president Sonia Gandhi today slammed the Prime Minister on new farm laws which have been enacted.
In a video statement, she said the Prime Minister was doing grave injustice to farmers by implementing the black laws.
On the occasion of the Mahatma Gandhi birth anniversary, Sonia Gandhi invoked both Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri and said that the soul of India lives in villages while Shastri gave the famous slogan of ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’.
“During the Congress government no law was passed without consultation with farmers or stakeholders, but in this government laws are passed to help the crony capitalists,” she said.
Sonia said that the party along with farmers will oppose the new laws till it becomes infructuous, while giving an example of the Land Acquisition laws. She attacked the government for scrapping the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC).
