‘No one ready to say what is ‘black’ in farm laws’: Agriculture minister Tomar
Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that opposition has failed to point flaws in the new farm laws and the did not discuss provisions of these legislations during the motion of thanks to the President's Address in Rajya Sabha.
The minister said opposition leaders have been calling the new farm laws ‘black’ but did not say what was ‘black’ in its provisions.
“As far as farm laws are concerned, I was in Rajya Sabha today and I noticed that no one is ready to say what is black in the farm laws.
If you are protesting against the law, then discussion should be held on its provisions.
Unfortunately, this is not happening.
So, I have told all the leaders of the parties as well as farmers that the central government is ready for an open discussion," he added.
The Agriculture Minister said that the government had given a proposal to farmers.
"We will talk with them (farmers) again after their proposal comes," he said.
Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan voiced strong objections following a tense exchange with Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Bachchan criticised the tone used by the Chair, asserting that MPs should not be treated like "school children," especially senior members of Parliament. She expressed particular frustration over the Chairman's decision to cut off the microphone when the Leader of the Opposition attempted to speak, calling it an undemocratic act. Bachchan further condemned the use of what she described as "unparliamentary language," recounting how Dhankhar dismissed her stature as a celebrity, stating, "You may be a celebrity, I do not care." In response, Bachchan emphasised her long-standing experience as a parliamentarian, noting that she was now serving her fifth term. Deeply offended by the conduct in the House, she demanded an apology, arguing that the current discourse in Parliament had reached an unprecedented low.

Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar clashed with Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O'Brien over wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s Paris Olympics disqualification. O'Brien's shouting prompted Dhankhar to reprimand him harshly, accusing the Opposition of politicizing Phogat’s plight and disrespecting her. Dhankhar warned O'Brien about the gravity of challenging Parliament's decorum and likened the situation to past emergency phases. Following the altercation, the Opposition walked out of the session.
