Opposition Leaders to Join Protesting Farmers At Jantar Mantar

Opposition members are likely to hold a symbolic protest at Jantar Mantar to express solidarity with protesting farmers. Since the start of the Parliament session, a section of farmer leaders have been protesting at Jantar Mantar to demand the repeal of the three controversial farm laws.

According to the reports, the modalities are likely to be worked out at the routine floor coordination meeting of Opposition leaders on Friday morning but former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi is expected to join the protests.

Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury stated that bills were being passed in the House without a debate with an average time of seven minutes spent on a Bill, and objected to a supplementary list of business being circulated at the last minute.

Leaders of several parties including the Congress, DMK, TMC, NCP, Shiv Sena, RJD, SP, CPIM, AAP, CPI, IUML, RSP, NC and LJD attended the opposition meeting.
