Another farmers’ outfit moves apex court
Description
NOIDA: The Bharatiya Kisan Union-Lokshakti, the farmers’ outfit protesting at Dalit Prerna Sthal, has moved the Supreme Court for impleadment in the petition that is being heard against the Centre’s three new farming laws. Earlier, the BKU-Bhanu, which is leading the protests at Chilla border, had also moved the Supreme Court, seeking impleadment. RJD MP Manoj Jha, DMK MP Nadu Tiruchi Siva and Rakesh Vaishnav of Chhattisgarh Kisan Congress have moved the SC, contending that the three laws are unconstitutional. The BKU-Lokshakti petition, which contends the laws would make farmers vulnerable to “corporate greed”, goes on to add, “These laws would dismantle the agriculture produce market committee (APMC) system intended to ensure fair prices for farm products.” The plea was filed on Thursday through advocate AP Singh, who had also moved the SC on behalf of BKU-Bhanu.
