|| Ally Akali Dal votes against BJP bills
The Bharatiya Janata Party ally in Punjab, Shiromani Akali Dal, on Wednesday issued a whip to its Rajya Sabha members, asking them to vote against the Centres three farming sector bills, PTI reported. Farmers in Punjab and other states have been vehemently protesting against the bills.
The Shiromani Akali Dal has three members in the Rajya Sabha Naresh Gujral, Balwinder Singh Bhunder and Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa.
The government had introduced the Farmers Produce Trade And Commerce (Promotion And Facilitation) Bill, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill in Parliament on Monday to replace the ordinances.
The bills seek to include private players in agriculture and promote hurdle-free sale of produce, but the farmers argue that they will bring about corporate dominance.
The Akali Dal had earlier supported the Centres decision but then claimed that it had not been consulted on the bills.
