New Delhi:
Amid a heated debate in Rajya Sabha against major farm bills, which were passed by parliament this afternoon, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien tried to break the rule book and snatch the microphone from Vice President Harivansh Narayan. Derek O’Brien ran to the well of the house to register his protest against the center. “This is a brutal murder of the parliamentary democratic system,” said the Trinamool congressional deputy in response to the great drama, which led to a 10-minute postponement of the house.
Chaos unfolded in the upper house of parliament shortly after the Trinamool congressional deputy’s comments on the bills in parliament.
“The PM said that the Center would double farmers’ incomes by 2022. At the current rate, not before 2028. Its credibility is low. The MSP is only one of four issues. We oppose Farm Bills also on Regarding state rights, PDS, acquisitions, “MP Rajya Sabha, one year old, tweeted an hour before the uproar in Rajya Sabha.
In the video, which he shared in the tweet, he is heard saying to the camera: “How qualified am I to speak about these bills? I belong to a party called the Trinamool Congress. Let me take them back to 2006. The President of this party (Mamata Banerjee), for the sake of farmers, had put his life at risk during a 26-day hunger strike. He was fighting for farmers’ rights. “
“Seven years ago, on September 4, 2013, the land acquisition bills, we only got 13 votes … but we opposed the bill to defend farmers’ rights. In 2016, the Supreme Court said the land must be returned. But then they would say it’s history. The last six years, the Krishi Karman award went to Bengal. The central government scheme is compared to the state scheme, the Bengal scheme is better, “he is heard saying.
The Trinamool deputy then latched onto Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comment on Friday. “Yesterday, Prime Minister Modi said: ‘The opposition is trying to deceive farmers.’ I want to ask: What credibility do you have in making the statement? You promised to double the income of farmers by 2022. At the current rate, the income of farmers will not be duplicated before 2028. “
“In Bengal, from Rs 90,000 in 2011, farmers’ income has doubled, actually tripled: Rs 2.90,000. If the food security system were an agency, the minimum price of living is one of the four concerns about farm bills. We oppose the rights of the four states, PDS, acquisitions. Do not take the debate to MSP only, “he said.
“Who (BJP) are they trying to fool … for consumers? What is the protection against hoarding, price increases, speculation? The big picture is, if you ask the BJP, they have the numbers. This is now beyond the farmers. These bills have to be discussed and debated. You (BJP) have the right to get away with it. We have the right to keep you on track, “the Trinamool deputy had said to the beginning of the day.
In response to Derek O’Brien, BJP’s Rupa Ganguly said this afternoon: “There is not a single word against farmers. The people of Bengal will take revenge. Please read the text of the bill. There is nothing against farmers killed in West Bengal where two people die every day. “
