Forward of the February 6 ‘chakka jam’ by agitating farmers, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Friday claimed the nationwide protest will be peaceful and added that there will be no ‘chakka jam’ in Delhi.

Amid the Opposition’s ongoing assault on the governing administration in Parliament more than the farmers protests, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar on Friday claimed that as per the Centre’s three new farm laws, farmers can terminate their contract at any time and can withdraw from their agreement with no any penalty.
 

Through a discussion in Parliament on Thursday, several opposition events questioned the governing administration to withdraw the three contentious farm laws with no making it a status challenge and not to handle the agitating farmers as “enemies”.

The protesting farmers have expressed the apprehension that these laws would pave the way for the dismantling of the minimal guidance price (MSP) system, leaving them at the “mercy” of significant organizations.

Nevertheless, the governing administration has maintained that the new laws will carry better opportunities to farmers and introduce new technologies in agriculture.
