Chandigarh, October 18
Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi today hailed the Congress Working Committee (CWC) for showing concern at the plight of farmers and standing in solidarity with them by passing a resolution on farm laws at a meeting held on Saturday.
Welcoming the resolution, the CM said the three agricultural laws were the culmination of the conspiracy to subjugate farmers for the advantage of a handful of crony capitalist friends of the Narendra Modi government.
He further pointed out that nearly a thousand farmers had died, but the Centre refused to even engage with them. “It further refuses to repeal the three farm laws and end the stalemate,” said Channi, adding that the Congress was committed to repealing the laws and ensuring a just and fair MSP mechanism for farmers and justice for landless farm labourers.
“We reiterate our continued resolve to fight this battle alongside the farmers and farm labourers to defeat the Centre’s deliberate attack on annadatas,” the CM added. — TNS
