New Delhi: Despite a spate of protests by farmers and Opposition parties, President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday gave his assent to the three Farm Bills passed by Parliament last week.
The passage of the three Bills -- Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill 2020 -- saw stiff opposition in the Rajya Sabha when it came up on September 20.
