‘SC not taking farm laws panel report seriously’

Description

Nagpur: Anil Ghanavat, president of Shetkari Sangathana, who was also a member of the Supreme Court appointed committee on the three farm laws, has written to the chief justice of India, saying the apex court is not giving importance to the report submitted by the panel. The court had stayed the three laws, that had caused protests in New Delhi, and appointed a three-member committee to submit its report after consulting stakeholders, including farmers. The letter by Ghanavat reads, “As a member of the committee representing the farmers, I am pained that the issue has not been resolved and the farmers’ protest continues. I feel that the report has not been give any attention by the court.” Ghanavat has urged the report should be made public for implementation of its recommendations. This would help end the stalemate to the farmers’ satisfaction, he said. The committee was appointed in January 2021 and submitted the report within the stipulated two months.
