To repeal the three contentious farm laws, the government on Monday will introduce in Lok Sabha a new bill, which states that though ‘only a small group of farmers are protesting’ against these legislations, the need of the hour is to take along everyone for inclusive growth.
The bill has been listed for introduction and passage in Lok Sabha on the first day of the Winter Session of Parliament on Monday.
The bill was passed by the Union Cabinet after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made an announcement that all three farm laws will be repealed in the winter session.
The bill will be introduced by the Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar in the House.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and main Opposition party Congress have issued whips to their MPs to be present on the day.
