Parliament Winter Session 2021 Live Updates: The Winter Session began yesterday amid sloganeering by the opposition, who wanted discussion around the Farm Laws Repeal Bill, yet found it passed within 4 minutes with no debate.
The second day of the 25-day Winter Session of Parliament will commence today.
The Winter Session of Parliament began on Monday amid protests and sloganeering by the opposition, who wanted discussion around the Farm Laws Repeal Bill, in an attempt to guarantee farmers some of their other demands that go beyond just the repeal of the three farm laws.
However, as the 25-day session began with 36 legislative bills on the agenda, the Lok Sabha promptly passed the Farm Laws Repeal Bill soon after the Winter Session convened, without providing the opportunity for discussion that the opposition was vying for.
Terming the repeal of the farm laws in Parliament a victory, farmer leaders from Punjab yesterday urged the Centre to decide on their other demands, including legal guarantee of minimum support price for crops, in today's session.
