CHANDIGARH: Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday said the Centre was trying to "bring back" the now-repealed farm laws, referring to the newly announced draft of the National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing.
Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh on Thursday, the CM rejected the draft National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing sent to the state government for comments last month, saying that his government will oppose any move of the Centre to pass "anti-farmer" laws through the back door.
The draft was put up on the ministry's website on November 25, 2024, and comments were invited from stakeholders within 15 days. The limited window for responses evoked heartburn.
"The Centre had rolled back the three farm laws. Now, they are trying to bring these back in some other way," Mann said.
