New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday replied in Lok Sabha to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address. During his speech, PM Modi launched a scathing attack against the Congress party over the farmers’ issue and said that the members of the grand old party debated on colour of the laws (black/white), it would have been better if they had debated on the content and intent of the laws.
Calling the farm laws important and necessary for the farmers, PM Modi said that the laws were passed through an Ordinance & later by Parliament and no mandis were shut after the implementation of these laws “MSP did not end anywhere in the nation. It’s a truth which we hide, it has no meaning. Purchase on MSP increased after the laws were formed,” PM Modi said.
