The head of the party, Sukhbir Singh Badal, asked President Ram Nath Kovind to send the bills to Parliament for review instead of signing them.
After the bills were passed in Rajya Sabha on Sunday, an angry SAD MP Naresh Gujral said: “The current NDA will pay a political price for this because the perception among farmers (at least in North India ) is that (the bill) is anti-farmer. ”
Calling the approval process of the bills in Rajya Sabha on Sunday as “a mockery of democracy”, the main deputy of the party Naresh Gujral told TOI that “ours is a cadre-based party and we are awaiting comments from our paintings “.
“In a week or 10 days, we will call a party meeting to decide whether to stay with the NDA or to resign from the alliance,” he said.
“In a democracy, you cannot put a good deed down the throat of a reluctant consumer. It is a mockery of democracy. I have never seen anything like this,” Gujral told TOI after the uproar Rajya Sabha witnessed in approving the projects. Of law.
He said the way the bills were passed in the upper house was shameful, referring to witnessing the unprecedented uproar in the House.
“It is a shame for the country, for all parliamentarians, that important bills are being passed in this way,” he said.
Annoyed by the way the government bypassed SAD and opposition parties regarding the bills, Gujral said: “The government sent six ministers today to explain how this bill is beneficial to farmers and It is strange that the final beneficiary cannot understand That. It is obvious that there is a trust deficit or a communication gap. Both can be resolved through a process of dialogue. ”
“That is why we said that the bills should be sent to a select committee, listen to the interested parties and if they have some valid points, let’s incorporate them. Why pass such an important bill in such a rush?
Harsimrat Kaur, the only Akali Dal minister in Narendra Modi’s government, resigned her post three days ago in protest against the bills.
