Opposition leaders on Thursday marched towards Vijay Chowk from Parliament in the national capital demanding to repeal the three farm laws.

Centre doesn’t want to run the Parliament proceedings properly. Govt is passing laws without discussions. There should be a discussion on Covid-19 vaccination, current economic situation, unemployment, farm laws but govt is running away, said Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.

The Parliament session is over. As far as 60 per cent of the country is concerned there has been no Parliament session. The voice of 60% per cent of the country has been crushed and humiliated. This is murder of democracy, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
