Describing the agriculture-related bills passed by the Centre recently as “black laws”, the Haryana unit of the Congress on Saturday announced an over month-long protest programme against the legislations. The protest schedule from September 28 to October 31 was announced at a joint media interaction by in-charge of the party’s Haryana affairs Vivek Bansal, Haryana Pradesh Congress president Kumari Selja, former chief minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, general secretary of All India Congress Committee Randeep Singh Surjewala and secretary AICC Ashish Dua here. The party announced the statewide agitation against the central government’s “three black laws”, saying the legislations will “ruin” the lives of farmers, commission agents and labourers. Party’s Haryana affairs in-charge Bansal said the Congress party, under the leadership of its president Sonia Gandhi and former chief Rahul Gandhi, stands fully united with the farmers to protect their interests. Selja said the BJP government has launched a “brutal attack” on the farmers, labourers and commission agents through these “black laws”.
