Bhubaneswar : , Nov 19, 2009 – The Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patel, who welcomed Friday’s decision to abolish three farm laws, said that the BJD would continue to support farmers. Welcoming Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji’s decision to abolish all three #FarmLaws in the country’s best interest and for its farmers.They have waited for you and will gladly welcome you back to their farms.”@bjd_odisha remains with the farmers,” Naveen tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made an earlier announcement that the government had decided to abolish the three laws governing farm in India, strongly opposed by farmers all over the country.
The laws include The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and facilitation) Act, The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act and The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act.
Although the BJD supported many Bills including controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill Bill, the party opposed some provisions in the farm laws.
Because the MSP concerns of small farmers and marginal farmers have not been properly addressed, the party requested that Bills be sent the Select Committee.
Naba Nirman Krashak Sangathan, however, referred to it as a victory for farmers and stated that protests would continue until the laws in Parliament are repealed.
