A joint release by the left parties has stated that they extend their solidarity and support to the ongoing massive agitation by Kisan organisations from all over the country against the new Agri laws-Farmer’s Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill 2020 and The Essential Commodities Bill (Amendment) 2020.

“The left parties have condemned the RSS/BJP’s malicious campaign on preposterous charges against the struggle of our ‘annadatas’ to safeguard Indian agriculture and the country’s food security,” the release said.
The left parties support the demand of Kisan organisations for scrapping of the three Agri laws and the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2020, it added.
