Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday made a big announcement to farmers protesting against the new agricultural law on the Delhi border. He said that 76 farmers who were agitating on the Delhi border in protest of agrarian laws have died. I announce today that the family of the Punjab farmer who lost his life in the peasant movement will get Rs.
Amarinder Singh has challenged the hasty adoption of agricultural laws. Captain said that this country has a constitution? The state is subject to the farm schedule. Why did the Center change it without a debate in Parliament? It was passed in the Lok Sabha as they were more members. It was passed in chaos as he thought things could go wrong in the Rajya Sabha.

Significantly, farmers in Punjab, Haryana and various parts of the country have been campaigning in different borders of the national capital for more than a month demanding the repeal of the Center’s three new agricultural laws.
What matters
In September, the government passed all three agrarian laws as a major reform in agriculture. The government says the role of the intermediary will end after these laws and farmers will be allowed to sell their products anywhere in the country. At the same time, farmers are demanding the repeal of all three agricultural laws. Farmers say the laws have been enacted to benefit the industry and eliminate the knee and minimum support pricing (MSP) system.
