NEW DELHI, Dec 18: A supporter of the ongoing farmers' agitation, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tore up copies of the farm Bills during a special Assembly session on Thursday.
Kejriwal asked the Centre "what was the hurry to get the farm laws passed during the pandemic", and urged it "not to become worse than the Britishers."
"I hereby tear three farm laws in this Assembly and appeal to the Centre not to become worse than Britishers. What was the hurry to get farm laws passed in parliament during pandemic?" Kejriwal asked.
"Every farmer has become Bhagat Singh... government is saying they are reaching out to farmers and trying to explain benefits of the farm bills... The UP Chief Minister told farmers they will benefit as their land won't be taken away. Is that a benefit?" Kejriwal asked.
The AAP provided drinking water, medical care and sanitation to the protesting farmers camping at the Delhi border.
Delhi is the third State after Punjab and Rajasthan to pass a resolution against the Central laws.
