Civil society members hold protest in Jammu demand rollback of pro market farm laws

  • | Thursday | 3rd December, 2020

Members of civil society including representatives from Rajwansh Sabha Jammu Bhim Army social activists and other organisations on Thursday organised a protest against three farm bills. The members assembled outside Gandhi Nagar Gurudwara and organised a peaceful protest to voice their support for the protesting farmers in Delhi. “We demand a roll back of anti-farms bills passed by the government” said Narinder Singh a protester. Tens of thousands of farmers from the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana are involved in a grinding standoff with the government demanding the repeal of three market-friendly laws. The contentious reforms will loosen rules around the sale pricing and storage of farm produce – rules that have protected India's farmers from an unfettered free market for decades.
