On Saturday, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin moved a resolution opposing the 3 contentious farm laws of the Central Govt in the state assembly, which was adopted through a voice vote. With this, Tamil Nadu becomes the seventh state to oppose the farm laws after Punjab, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Kerala & West Bengal.
Stalin also said that all cases filed against the farmers who staged protests against the 3 farmer-related legislations of the Central Govt, during the past 1 year, will be withdrawn.
Ever since the three farm laws were enacted by the Centre, Stalin's Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has been demanding that the Centre withdraw the laws, which the CM has said are “against the interests of farmers,” reported the news agency. "The government has made a clear decision to pass a resolution seeking the withdrawal of these three farm laws reflecting the feelings of farmers across the country," Stalin said in June, adding there is no change on that decision.
In May, Stalin said that the Govt will bring a resolution in the assembly asking the Centre to withdraw the 3 farm laws. He recalled that one of the promises made in the DMK’s assembly election manifesto which promised efforts to insist the Central Govt revoke the Farmers’ Produce Trade & Commerce (Promotion & Facilitation) Act, the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act & the Farmers (Empowerment & Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance & Farm Services Act.
Stalin said that “The Union government must accept the demands of protesting farmers & revoke these three farm laws. I assure you that the promises made by the DMK on (revoking) farm laws would be fulfilled".
He said that neither did the Union Govt respect the sentiments of the farmers & revoke the 3 farm laws nor did it take steps to hold talks with them to find a solution to the issue.
