New Delhi: Congress leader Ghulam Nabhi Azad has said that 16 political parties are boycotting President’s Address that will be delivered at Parliament tomorrow.
“We’re issuing a statement from 16 political parties that we’re boycotting President’s Address that will be delivered at Parliament tomorrow. The major reason behind this decision is that the Bills (Farm Laws) were passed forcibly in House, without Opposition,” mentioned Azad.
The joint statement of the opposition parties said that the Bharatiya Janata Party government has arbitrarily enforced the three agricultural laws, causing a livelihood crisis on 60 percent of the country’s population. Millions of farmers and agricultural laborers are directly affected by this. Farmers have been demonstrating on the borders of Delhi for the last 64 days and more than 155 farmers have lost their lives.
President Ram Nath Kovind is scheduled to address both houses of the Parliament on January 29 before the start of the budget session.
The Union Budget 2021 will be presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1 at 11 am.
