No Discussion on Farm Laws': After CM Amarinder's NITI Aayog Meeting Message, Rajiv Kumar Refutes Claim

Hours after Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh said in a statement that he urged PM Modi to ensure urgent resolution to the ongoing farmers' "unrest", NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Rajiv Kumar clarified that no one spoke about farm laws in the sixth governing council meeting, and only reforms in agricultural sector were discussed.

Singh, who couldn't attend the meeting due to 'ill-health', recorded a message for the prime minister where he made the appeal on farmers, and a request on an early release of the state's pending GST compensation. He also expressed concerns over the threat to Punjab's agriculture sector as a result of the "disruptions caused by the three new farm laws", according to a state government release.
