Opposition parties back 'Bharat Bandh' on Tuesday; Trinamool opts out


 

Cracks have emerged within the opposition ranks as the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Monday said it will not support the 'Bharat Bandh' and asked its workers to stay away.

The TMC has been at the forefront in opposing the farm laws in Parliament. It has also lent its support to the protests by the farmers but has decided not to go with Tuesday's Bharat Bandh call.

Party MP Saugata Roy on Monday said, "TMC stands in solidarity with the farmers, but will not support the Bharat Bandh in West Bengal as it goes against our principles."

Earlier, TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee had tweeted, "I am very much concerned about the farmers, their lives and livelihood. GOI must withdraw the anti-farmer bills. If they do not do so immediately we will agitate throughout the state and the country. From the very start, we have been strongly opposing these anti-farmer bills." Read More
