Arvind Kejriwal tears copies of farm laws in Delhi Assembly

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday tore copies of the contentious farm laws in a special Assembly session. Kejriwal also urged the Centre "not to become worse than Britishers." Thousands of farmers are camping at Delhi's borders demanding a complete rollback of the laws. Earlier on Thursday, the Supreme Court allowed the farmers to protest but withheld them from blocking access to Delhi.

Details
Kejriwal questioned why government passed laws in hurry

Kejriwal questioned why the central government passed the farm laws in a hurry in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. He added, "The government is saying they are reaching out to farmers and trying to explain the benefits of the farm bills...The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister told farmers they will benefit as their land won't be taken away. Is that a benefit?"

Information
Two AAP MLAs also tore copies of laws

Kejriwal then said, "I hereby tear the three farm laws in this Assembly and appeal the Centre not to become worse than the Britishers." Earlier, two legislators of Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Somnath Bharti and Mohinder Goyal, had also torn copies of the laws.

Protest
Why are the farmers protesting?

For months, farmers have protested against the three farm laws passed in September. The protests intensified three weeks ago as thousands of farmers from several states reached Delhi, braving a police crackdown. Farmers fear that by allowing trade outside APMC mandis, the laws will weaken the mandis and they would be deprived of Minimum Support Prices (MSPs), leaving them vulnerable to exploitation by corporations.

AAP
AAP backs protests; Delhi passes legislation to block farm laws

The AAP has supported the protests and even provided them with basic infrastructure, including water, sanitation, and medical care. The AAP-led Delhi government has passed legislation designed to counter the Centre's laws. Earlier, Punjab and Rajasthan—both states ruled by the Indian National Congress party—had moved resolutions against the farm laws. Kejriwal also highlighted reports that over 20 protesters have died since the protests began.

Supreme Court
Supreme Court withholds protesters from blocking access to Delhi

On a related note, while hearing a batch of petitions concerning the farmers' protest, the Supreme Court on Thursday said that the protesters can't be allowed to block access to Delhi. Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde said the protests can continue without violence, adding that the "police will not do anything." However, the court refused to consider the validity of the laws.
