Union defence minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday spoke in the Rajya Sabha on India’s border standoff with China, saying that the issue is unsolved. He reiterated that China is not accepting the traditional alignment of the border. While, health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan spoke about coronavirus in the upper house of the parliament. History will remember PM Modi for ‘meticulous’ Covid-19 handling, he said during the address.
Meanwhile, The Lok Sabha passed the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion And Facilitation) Bill, 2020 and the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 together on Thursday.
The bills seek to open up the farm sector to more competition, modernise supply chains by enabling bigger agribusinesses to engage with farmers more directly and create seamless access to markets, which are currently fragmented.
