The government is also working on whether the MSP issue should be addressed as guidelines or in a statutory form as the farmers have been demanding.
A Bill to repeal the three contentious farm laws is still under preparation by the government and is awaiting approval from the Prime Miniter's Office, government sources said today. It will be one comprehensive Bill and not three separate laws. The Agriculture Ministry is also working on whether the Minimum Support Price (MSP) issue should be addressed as guidelines or in a statutory form as the farmers have been demanding.
The proposed Bill will make provisions to shut down all boards that were constituted regarding the three farm laws, and all decisions taken by them will be null and void, the source added. Any offices constituted will also cease operations. Some states had reportedly tried to operate during the brief period of six months when the laws were operational.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, in an address to the nation on November 20, announced that the three farm laws that were introduced last year would be repealed.
