Punjab passes resolution on MSP

Description

NEW DELHI: The Punjab government on Thursday passed a resolution demanding MSP as a statutory right. In a meeting, the Punjab cabinet also reiterated that nothing short of repeal of the Centre’s farm laws would resolve the present crisis. “The Centre is out of touch with ground realities,” said CM Amarinder Singh at the cabinet meeting. However, no decision on moving court was taken although the CM had announced last week that the state had already finalised requisite petitions for challenging the central Acts. “It was decided that we should only facilitate the protesting farmers in whatever way they want,” said a minister after the meeting.
