The Patiala M.P. accused BJP led government for trying to destroy the ideals of our constitution that was made for the preservation of the rights of our very own people.
She further said that we're bringing this bill to ensure that the our constitution is not trampled upon and also to extend our support to the protesting farmers who have been forced to sit on roads agitating for their rights against their very own government.
“We have tried everything to support our farmers and to raise their concerns, our MPs and MLAs have even been sitting on dharna for over an month, but this government has turned a blind eye towards the elected members as it had done with farmers. We are bringing this bill to save the livelihood of our farmers and to save our future generations,” she said.
