New Delhi:
The Congress on Tuesday sought President Ram Nath Kovind’s intervention for withdrawal of the three farm laws and said a memorandum signed by two crore farmers would be handed over to him on December 24 by a party delegation led by Rahul Gandhi.
The Congress has been supporting the farmers’ agitation and seeking withdrawal of the farm laws. A delegation of opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, had met the President with the same demand a few days ago.
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal said the delegation of Congress leaders led by the former party chief will meet the President on Thursday.
Around two crore farmers’ signatures have been collected from across the country, he said, while seeking the President’s intervention for annulling the three legislations.
“A delegation of Congress MPs and leaders led by former Congress president Rahul Gandhi will be submitting a memoranda of appeal bearing these 2 crore signatures to the President on December 24, urging his intervention for annulling the three black laws,” Mr Venugopal said in a statement.
