Kerala Assembly passes resolution against central farm laws
Dec-31-2020

The Kerala Assembly today unanimously passed a resolution demanding the scrapping of the three contentious central farm laws, against which farmers were agitating in Delhi, saying they were 'anti-farmer' and 'pro-corporate.' The resolution was passed in a special session convened in compliance with COVID-19 protocols to express solidarity with the agitating farmers.

The members of the CPI(M)-led LDF and Congress-headed UDF supported the resolution whole-heartedly. Though the lone BJP member in the state assembly, O Rajagopal raised objections against some references in the resolution, he did not object to it.

After the nearly two hour-long discussion, Speaker P Sreeramakrishan put the resolution for a voice vote and said it has been passed. The Speaker said ‘Passing of the resolution reflects the sentiments of the House towards the farmers' cause’.
