‘Panchayats must pass motion against farm laws’
Description
Trichy: Delta farmers have appealed to chief minister M K Stalin to issue a notification asking presidents of all village panchayats to pass a resolution opposing the three farm laws at the gram sabha meetings to be convened on Gandhi Jayanthi. This would add strength to the special resolution adopted in the assembly recently demanding repealment of the contentious laws.Thanjavur District Cauvery Farmers Protection Association secretary Swamimalai S Vimalnathan said the village panchayats could not pass any such resolution last year due to Covid-19 protocols when the farm laws were passed in Parliament amid stiff opposition from the farming community. “We appeal to the CM to issue an order to all village panchayats to adopt a resolution in support of the special resolution in assembly. If he does so, as farmers are ready to show their solidarity with the government of Tamil Nadu,” Vimalnathan added.
