Punjab Vidhan Sabha (State Assembly) has passed a resolution asking for withdrawal of the farm laws in the interest of the farmers, and to continue with the existing system of MSP-based government procurement of food grains.

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh while introducing the resolution in the Assembly,  asked 10 questions from the nation with an aim to expose the true intent of the Centre behind the legislations, which he said were unacceptable to the farmers and the state under any circumstances.

“Who benefits from completely unregulated private mandis? Who benefits when farmers are debarred from approaching civil courts for any dispute related to an agreement signed with the corporates?”.

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh said,“are as patriotic and nationalistic as those who gave their lives for the country in Galwan valley last year to protect India’s integrity and sovereignty”.

Chief Minister pointed out that despite 11 rounds of discussions, the Centre was unmoved and unconcerned about the protests of the farmers across the country, and had not taken any positive step to meet their demands.
