Days after their passage in the Lok Sabha, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar introduced the Farmer Bills in the Rajya Sabha. The bills are facing staunch opposition from farmer bodies as well as from within the ruling coalition. Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa started a debate on the bill. Bajwa said that it is an injury to the soul of farmers. According to sources, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh spoke to the leaders of Shiv Sena and NCP over phone call and appealed to vote in favor of these bills.
