Pointing out that many farmers have died in the protests against the three farm laws, the chief minister said it was high time the Central government realised its blunder and withdrew the legislations in the interest of the farmers and the nation.
As the nation marked one year of the approval of three farm laws in Lok Sabha, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday demanded immediate scrapping of the legislations by the Centre, calling for detailed discussions with the farmers to find a way forward.
Pointing out that many farmers have died in the protests against the three farm laws, the chief minister said it was high time the Central government realised its blunder and withdrew the legislations in the interest of the farmers and the nation.
Mr Singh, wearing a #nofarmers_nofood badge, was inaugurating the third state level virtual Kisan Mela organised by Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) in Ludhiana. The two-day mela is centred on the theme ''Karie Parali Di Sambhal, Dharti Maa Hove Khushhal'' in line with the state government's focus on eliminating stubble burning.
Citing 127 amendments in the Constitution, Mr Singh asked why another amendment is not possible to scrap the farm laws.
