Congress MP Manish Tewari filed a postponement motion notice in Lok Sabha to discuss “ordering the government to create a register of farmers who lost their lives during the protest against agricultural laws and to compensate their families.” The House was adjourned until noon as congressional parliamentarians shouted slogans against the farm laws.
This (Agricultural Law Repeal Bill, 2021 approved by Lok Sabha) is a tribute to the 750 farmers who lost their lives during the upheaval. The protest will continue as other issues, including the MSP, are still pending, said BKU leader Rakesh Tikait. (Farm Laws Repeal Bill)
