Special Bengal House session against farm laws on January 27-28
Description
KOLKATA: A two-day special session of the Bengal assembly will be held on January 27 and 28 when the government will table a draft resolution against the Centre’s three farm laws. State parliamentary minister Partha Chatterjee has urged Speaker Biman Banerjee to call the special session. The move is aimed at bringing together all parties other than BJP and draft a letter to the Centre recording the opposition to the farm laws. The draft resolution will also express solidarity with the continuing farmer agitation at Delhi’s borders. “We have proposed a two-day special assembly session when we will table a draft resolution in support of the agitating farmers in New Delhi. We will try to adopt an all-party resolution against the three central farm laws and send it to the Centre. The draft of the letter will be sent to leaders of opposition parties, including CPM and Congress,” Chatterjee said on Friday. Pradesh Congress president Adhir Chowdhury took a step ahead a few days ago and proposed that the state government should explore framing its own laws. The state government, however, is not in a mood to go into the legalities of the issue. Instead, TMC wants to take up the issue at the political level. Full report on www.toi.in
