Central govt should immediately withdraw farm laws: Mayawati

New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief, Mayawati on Saturday said that her party demands immediate withdrawal of the recent farm laws.

“The central government should immediately withdraw the three farm laws by accepting the demands of the farmers and should not adopt a rigid approach while dealing with the agitating farmers but the government should have a sympathetic attitude towards them. This is the demand of BSP,” said Mayawati.

केन्द्र की सरकार को, हाल ही में देश में लागू तीन नए कृषि कानूनों को लेकर आन्दोलित किसानों के साथ हठधर्मी वाला नहीं बल्कि उनके साथ सहानुभूतिपूर्ण रवैया अपनाकर उनकी माँगों को स्वीकार करके, उक्त तीनों कानूनों को तत्काल वापस ले लेना चाहिए, बीएसपी की यह माँग।
