Rahul Gandhi’s 3-Day Tractor Rally To Protest New Farm Laws Rescheduled To October 4
Chandigarh:
In a slight trade in his programme, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will now cling tractor rallies in Punjab and Haryana from October Four-6 to protest towards the brand new farm rules.
Previous, Rahul Gandhi was once scheduled to carry tractor rallies from October Three-Five, the birthday party had mentioned. Alternatively, the remainder of his itinerary will stay the similar.
“Trade in @Rahul Gandhi tractor rallies programme; rescheduled to October Four, Five, 6. Relaxation (itinerary) stays the similar,” Punjab Leader Minister Amarinder Singh’s media marketing consultant, Raveen Thukral, tweeted.
Leader Minister Amarinder Singh, Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar, birthday party’s Punjab in-charge Harish Rawat, and all state ministers and birthday party MLAs will sign up for the protests, “to offer voice to the angst and ache of the farmers, whose livelihood and long term has been put at stake through the central legislations”.
A spokesperson of Punjab Congress had mentioned on Thursday that the tractor rallies have been anticipated to be supported through farmers’ organisations and can duvet greater than 50 km over 3 days.
The rallies are scheduled to start out round 11 am on every of the 3 days and might be performed amid strict COVID-19 protocols, the spokesperson had mentioned.
Rahul Gandhi is more likely to deal with rallies at Kaithal and Pipli in Kurukshetra district of Haryana on October 6 as an alternative of October Five, following which he’s going to go back to Delhi.
Farmers have expressed apprehension that the Centre’s farm reforms would pave some way for the dismantling of the minimal reinforce value machine, leaving them on the “mercy” of giant corporations.
Parliament had final week handed the Crucial Commodities (Modification) Invoice, 2020; the Farmers’ Produce Business and Trade (Promotion and Facilitation) Invoice; and the Farmers’ (Empowerment and Coverage) Settlement of Worth Assurance and Farm Products and services Invoice.
