Pass Laws to Bypass Centre's 'Tyrannical' Farm Legislations, Sonia Gandhi Tells Cong-ruled States

The Congress on Monday asked states under its rule to enact legislations to bypass the three Central farm-related laws that have triggered protests by farmers in some parts of the country.
The Congress is strongly opposed to the three Central legislations which were signed into laws by President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday.
The party said that interim president Sonia Gandhi has appealed to all Congress-ruled states to explore possibilities of bypassing these tyrannical legislations by passing laws so that farmers could be spared from grave injustice done by the Centre.
Some states, especially the Congress-ruled Punjab, are witnessing protests by farmers against the new Central laws.
"This (states passing laws negating Central legislations) would enable the states to bypass the unacceptable anti-farmers' provisions in the three draconian Agricultural law including the abolition of MSP and disruption of APMCs in Congress ruled states," the party said.
