Raikot, 10 February (000) –
Dr Amar Singh MP Shri Fatehgarh Sahib while speaking in Parliament near midnight yesterday asked the central Government to immediately repeal the three farm laws, bring a new law on MSP and also sought debt relief and loan waiver for farmers.
He spoke about the historical contribution of Punjab’s farmers how they had faced against the likes of Abdali and the contribution of Punjabis to the freedom struggle. He condemned the events that took place on 26th January highlighting that it had been condemned across the world. He went on to highlight the disproportionate contribution of Punjabis to the armed forces and how every week Punjabi youngsters are laying down their lives protecting the country.
Dr Singh said given the number of amendments the central Government had agreed to showed the farmers were right and the farm laws needed to be taken back. He asked the Government to swallow its pride and take the laws back altogether.

He said that the Government should explore why farmers don’t trust them. He pointed out that the Governments actions since 2014 starting with the Shanta Kumar committee to dismantle the FCI and reduce public procurement had alerted the farming community about the intentions of the BJP long before the farm laws came to be.
