1. Raut asked- Who is the patriot? Arnab, Kangana, or farmer?

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut surrounded the government on the issue of Arnab Goswami and Kangana Ranaut. He said- "Who is the patriot in our country?" Arnab Goswami, because of which an innocent person committed suicide in Maharashtra? Or is Kangana Ranaut a patriot? Which language did Arnab use about Prakash Javadekar? You should be ashamed that you have sheltered them. The person who has already told about the Balakot strike while breaking the official secret code, he is in the shelter of the Central Government, he has your protection. ... But the farmer fighting for his rights is a traitor. '

 

'Salvation is attained by speaking the truth, but speaking the truth is also called traitor'

Raut said, "Yesterday Dharmendra Pradhanji was speaking and was repeatedly trimming towards us that tell the truth, this leads to salvation. But today the atmosphere in the country is that who speaks the truth is also called a traitor. The one who asks questions to the government is called a traitor. Our member in the House is Sanjay Singh, he is facing a case of treason. Rajdeep Sardesai is a well-known journalist, he has been sued for treason. Journalists and writers reporting on the Singhu border were also sued under the sedition law. '

 

2. Anand Sharma's attitude was, said - If there is no Mike, you will have to shout

Congress leader Anand Sharma's attitude was very strong. Seeing his attitude, the MPs said, "You are angry." Sharma said, "If there is no mic, you will have to shout." After this, Mike was corrected. MPs also quipped that your voice is loud anyway.

 

'Farmers forced to struggle'

Sharma raised the issue of migrant laborers and farmers at the beginning of his speech. He said that the situation in the country is well known after the lockdown. Even those whose employment went, families were devastated. The peasants were forced to fight for their rights. It has a responsible government. The President's address stated the government's achievement during the epidemic, but during the lockdown, migrants and millions of laborers were disturbed, forced to walk. A child was removing the blanket from his dead mother's body at the station. This is anesthesia, but it was not discussed.

 

'People should accept every decision of the government, it is not possible'

He said, "The President's address is a disappointing testimonial of the Government. The unnecessary mention of agricultural laws in this is unfortunate. We know that the President reads what the government gives. On one hand, there is a struggle, on the other side the agricultural laws are being praised in the address, nothing can be sadder than this. In democracy, there should be a consensus, an idea, it is neither possible nor acceptable. Every policy decision of the government should be accepted by the public and the opposition should approve it, it is neither possible, nor is it acceptable and never will be. '

 

3. Agriculture Minister said - Opposition did not skimp on us

Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar's attitude was different when it came. He said that thanks to the opposition that he worried about the peasant movement. The government did not skimp in cursing and insisted on agricultural laws as black law. I kept asking the farmers union for two months what is black in the law, but I did not get a reply.

 

'Only Congress can do farming with blood'

The Agriculture Minister said that if the government is ready for any amendment, then it should not mean that there is a mistake in the agricultural law. State any one provision in the Contract Act which is anti-farmer. It is a matter of a single state. Farmers have been tricked. The world knows that water is cultivated, only Congress can do farming with blood, BJP cannot do it.

 

'Our Act abolishes tax'

The Agriculture Minister said that we have enacted the Trade Act. It provided that the area outside the APMC man would be a trade area. It can also be a farmer's home or farm so that he can sell his produce from anywhere. There will be no state or central tax on trade outside the APMC. Central government act abolishes tax. Acts of many state governments force them to pay taxes at APMC.

 

'Vomiting Ganges is flowing in the country'

He said, 'I especially want to ask the farmers of Punjab that we have tax free, the state government is taking tax here. Will they agitate against the tax imposed, or will they agitate against the tax-free one? But vomit Ganga is flowing in the country today. In Punjab Act, if farmers break the contract farming, there is a provision to send it to jail. It is not so in our actions. '
