New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Union government if it can give a commitment that the farm laws will not be implemented while the court is hearing the matter. The apex court is hearing petitions challenging the constitutionality of the new farm laws.
The court said this will enable negotiations with farmers. However, the Centre said that if the implementation of laws is delayed then farmers will not come forward for negotiation, Outlook reported.
“We are worried over the plight of farmers and the way things are going. They are not a mob,’ the apex court was quoted as saying.
