Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal supports farmer protests. He not only calls the three bills “anti-farmer” but also criticises the central government for curtailing the farmer’s right to peaceful protests.
केंद्र सरकार के तीनों खेती बिल किसान विरोधी हैं। ये बिल वापिस लेने की बजाय किसानों को शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन करने से रोका जा रहा है, उन पर वॉटर कैनन चलाई जा रही हैं। किसानों पर ये जुर्म बिलकुल ग़लत है। शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन उनका संवैधानिक अधिकार है।

In the process, 75 percent of workers are being pushed out of the orbits of labour laws since they will have no legal protection under the new enactment,” the AIBEA said in a release.
The AIBEA, which has four lakh bank employees from several public and old private sector and some foreign banks as its members, represents most of the banks barring State Bank of India and Indian Overseas Bank.
