CJ SA Bobde Responds To Criticism Of Farm Laws Committee
By: Tupaki Desk | 20 Jan 2021 6:41 AM GMT
The Chief Justice of India, SA Bobde, today responded to criticism of the committee that was appointed by Supreme Court to negotiate a solution to the farmer protests. For the first time, he responded to a four-member committee they had appointed to resolve the crisis over the issue of farmers worried about the repeal of agricultural laws.
He said there were some misconceptions about the formation of the committee but there was no need to discuss them.
One of the members, Bhupinder Singh Mann of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, opted out saying he did not wish to compromise farmers' interests. Mentioning this, Bobde said that was the latter's own decision to out of the committee and it is not correct to say that he is disqualified.
He left the committee saying that he was also a farmer and that I would do my part to help the farmers. However, the farmers say that they will not appear before any committee and that all the members of the committee appointed by the apex court are in favour of the controversial laws. Although the other three members of the committee are agronomists, they uphold central laws.
On Wednesday, the farmers will direct their latest activity. The tractor rally on the 26th of this month will be the main agenda in their discussions.
