Congress raised questions over why the central government wants farmer groups who are opposing the new farm laws to approach the Supreme Court.
Congress’s spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that PM Narendra Modi should quit if he is not able to repeal them.
People have elected the government and not the Supreme Court, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said.
Congress also said that it will observe ”Kisan Adhikar Diwas” and organize ”Jan Andolans” at state headquarters.
Surjewala asked:
“People have elected this government and not the Supreme Court. Then why does the government want people to go to elsewhere?”
He further said, “The Modi government is answerable to the people for taking decisions and not the Supreme Court. The responsibility of making and repealing the laws wrests with Parliament and not the court.”
Congress further asked for PM’s resignation if he cannot repeal the laws, Surjewala said that PM should “sit at home as you have no moral authority to remain in power even for a minute.”
Surjewala said, “This is the first government in the history of India which is woefully abdicating its responsibility and telling the farmers to approach the Supreme Court and the sooner the Modi government vacates the throne, the better it would be for the country.”
