Parliament Updates: Congress’ Anto Antony in the Lok Sabha said the Budget is neither farmer- friendly nor growth-oriented and claimed it ignores youth. He said that the budget had nothing for migrant workers, and made no provisions to write off farmers’ loans. The Centre’s claims of having implemented Swamithanathan Commission report are untrue, claims BJD’s Anubhav Mohanty and demands implementation of panel’s recommendations in toto after negotiations with agitating farmers. DMK’s DM Kathir Anand tears into the government, saying the budget looks like an election manifesto or a five year plan. “This government remains a publicity mongering government. An illusionary lollipop has been given to people of Tamil Nadu with eye on polls,” he alleged. “There’s nothing about labour and creation of employment in the Budget, he alleges. The budget doesn’t mention the three farm laws nad the allocation for the PM Kisan and PM Fasal Bima Yojana has come down too,” he claims. Union Minister Smriti Irani hit out at Rahul Gandhi and said he did not bother to talk about the budget in the House. Smriti Irani further added that the Union Budget 2021-22 will make India Atmanirbhar. CPI’s M Selvaraj also called the Centre’s formula of calculating MSP ‘an eyewash’ and claimed that MSMEs had closed down during COVID lockdown BJP MP and Union Minister Anurag Thakur speaks in the Lok Sabha, and criticises Rahul Gandhi’s speech on the farm laws. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha said that his speech is only focused on farm laws in protest against Speaker’s decision to not allow separate debate on the issue. Rahul Gandhi says the current BJP government follows a “Hum do hamare do” policy to criticise the intent behind the new farm laws India and China have reached an agreement for disengagement in the Pangong Lake area to cease their forward deployments in a phased, coordinated and verified manner and it will substantially restore the situation to what it was before the stand-off last year, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says in the Lok Sabha Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said there will be no peace and tranquillity if there is no status quo ante at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China. MoS Finance Anurag Thakur lauds the Union Budget in Rajya Sabha and said that the poor population have benefited the most from the policies of BJP-led government and claimed that the Budget has received positive reviews from all states Naresh Gujral from SAD urged the Centre to not use force on agitating farmers and to stop defaming them by calling them ‘Khalistanis’ in Rajya Sabha. Sukhendu Shekhar Roy of TMC asked the Centre on what basis the government had made the claim that the economy will grow by 14 percent. “The government is making empty promises in the name of Atmanirbhar Bharat.” he said. “The government was in denial about slowdown in economy. They believed wrongly that the problem in Indian economy is cyclical and not structural. But the numbers were dropping even before the pandemic struck. Two years of slowdown is a reality before coronavirus,’ P Chidambaram said in Rajya Sabha The Rajya Sabha will hold a discussion on the Union Budget 2021 till 3 pm today. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will give her response in Rajya Sabha tomorrow Chidambaram said the borrowing will only be used to fill the huge craters in our economy. “Mark my words, the growth projections will fall short by the end of 2021.” He said, the finance minister had objected to my use of the word incompetent while describing this government’s policies. “But I repeat myself, for I have no milder word available to describe this situation. The incompetent economic management will push us back to the numbers we had in 2017.” When Rajya Sabha members ask for an opportunity to seek clarification on defence minister’s statement on India-China standoff situation, Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu denies their request saying “this is a matter of national unity and security.” Providing details about the disengagement process initiated at the southern and northern banks of Pangong Tso, the defence minister said that senior commanders from both sides will meet within 48 hours after disengagement from Pangong. The defence minister added that India is committed to maintaining a peaceful situation along the Line of Control. “India has always emphasised on maintaining bilateral ties,” said Singh. The defence minister will make a suo motu statement in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday about the standoff in eastern Ladakh, a day after China announced that Beijing and New Delhi have started ‘synchronised and organised disengagement’ at the southern and northern bank of the Pangong Tso. The Chinese media on Wednesday said Indian and Chinese troops along the border in Ladakh have initiated the process of disengagement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the central government and the Parliament have great respect for the farmers who are voicing their views on the three farm bills and that is why top most ministers have been talking to them. Replying in Lok Sabha to the discussion on the motion of thanks to the President’s address to the joint sitting of Parliament, Modi again allayed apprehensions on the farm laws, saying neither any agriculture ‘mandi’ (market) has shut down after the three laws were enacted nor has the MSP stopped, rather the MSP has only increased which no one can deny. “This House, our government and we all respect farmers who are voicing their views on the farm bills. This is the reason why topmost ministers of the government are constantly talking to them. There is great respect for farmers. “After the laws relating to agriculture were passed by Parliament, no ‘mandi’ has shut. Likewise, MSP has remained. Procurement on MSP has remained. These facts can’t be ignored,” he said. The prime minister said those who are disrupting the House are doing so as per a well-planned strategy as they are unable to digest that people can see the truth. “Through their games, the trust of the people can never be won,” he said, amidst protests by the opposition members. The Congress walked out of Lok Sabha as PM Modi explained the government’s stand on the three farm laws. Modi said the Congress has taken different stands in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. “A divided and confused party like this can do no good to the country,” he added. Modi said India has managed the COVID-19 pandemic successfully despite adverse predictions and the country has now become a ray of hope for the world. He said the world post-COVID-19 is turning out to be very different and in such times remaining isolated from the global trends will be counter-productive. “That is why India is working towards building an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India), which seeks to further global good. “Predictions were made India cannot survive as a nation, but people of our country proved them wrong and we are now a ray of hope for the world,” he said. Complimenting health care and frontline workers for their relentless work during the pandemic, the prime minister said the way India has managed the coronavirus crisis is a turning point and the world has seen its success. The address of the President has showcased India’s ‘Sankalp Shakti’ and his words have boosted the spirit of confidence among the people of India, infused new confidence and inspired every heart “During the discussion on the President’s speech, a large number of women MPs took part. This is a great sign. I want to congratulate the women MPs who enriched the House proceedings with their thoughts,” he said.

PM called farmers’ protest sacred after facing flak for ‘andolanjivi’ remark: Farmer leader
Farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal on Thursday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the farmers’ agitation against the new agri laws “sacred” after facing flak for his ‘andolanjivi’ remark, reports PTI.
Prime Minister Modi in Lok Sabha on Wednesday had asserted that he holds the farmers’ agitation “sacred” and had made a fresh appeal to them to resume talks with the Centre. Two days earlier, during his speech in Rajya Sabha, Modi had sought to make a distinction between ‘andolankari’ (agitators) and ‘andolanjivi’, a barb for people who jump from one protest to another.
The ‘andolanjivi’ remark was criticised by opposition parties, including the Congress, and the farmer unions protesting against the laws at various Delhi border points since last November.
The “black” farm laws will destroy the farming community, Rajewal, who is the president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Rajewal), said while addressing a well-attended ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ at Jagraon in Ludhiana, a first such in Punjab.
