Farm Bill: Farm Bill Protest NDA, Resignation of Akali Leader Akali Dal Leader – Harsimrat Kaur Badal of Akali Dal Resigned from Narendra Modi’s Cabinet to Protest Farm Bills

This time the digital desktop: Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 61 on Thursday. And this is the day of the breakdown of the Union Cabinet. Akali Dal leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal, one of the NDA’s allies, resigned from Modi’s cabinet in protest of the Center’s three agricultural bills. He announced his decision on social media that day. Harsimrat was the only Akali Dal member in Modi’s cabinet.

In announcing his decision, Harsimrat wrote on Twitter: “I have resigned from the Union Cabinet in protest of the government ordinance against farmers and the law.” I am proud to be with the farmers and their brothers. ‘

However, Shiromani Akali Dal has not announced any decision on whether or not to join the NDA in the coming days. Party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal told reporters: “The next party meeting will decide what our next strategy will be.”

Previously, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) opposed the BJP’s decision by participating in the debate on the agricultural bill at the Lok Sabha. The party chief, Sukhbir Singh Badal, called the bill anti-peasant. At the same time, he complained that if this bill becomes law, the interests of farmers will be violated.

On June 5, the central government issued a series of ordinances to implement reform measures in the country’s agricultural sector. The Union Minister of Agriculture and Agricultural Welfare, Narendra Singh Tomar, introduced three agriculture-related bills in the Lok Sabha on Monday to give full legal recognition to those ordinances.

The purpose of one of the three bills is to amend the country’s existing essential commodity laws and lift the upper limit for storing certain agricultural products.

Another bill aims to free up interstate trade in agricultural products by eliminating the APMC laws currently in effect in the states, and the third bill aims to legalize contract farming in the states.

Members of the opposition in parliament have strongly opposed the central government and the three proposed laws, calling it interference in state power.
