New Delhi: The Supreme Court raised questions regarding the blocking of the highway against three new agricultural laws by the farmer agitators. The court today said that any matter can be settled for Parliament debate, court hearing and agitation. But it is not right to jam the highway for this.
Along with this, the court has also allowed farmer organizations to form a party in the petition filed in this matter to the central government. The Supreme Court clearly said that when the problem can be resolved through debate in Parliament, judicial forums, then why the roads have been blocked. The top court also said that now after the filing of the application, the matter will be heard next Monday. The Supreme Court also said that the problem can be resolved through judicial forum, agitation or parliamentary debate.
The Supreme Court also raised the question as to how the highway can be blocked in this way. Earlier last month, the Supreme Court had made a strong remark that farmers have the right to protest but the roads cannot be blocked indefinitely. At that time, the Supreme Court had said that the Center and the states concerned should resolve the problems being faced by the people in the National Capital Region (NCR) due to the demonstration of farmers against the agricultural laws.
The Supreme Court said that the solution of these problems is not with the Supreme Court but with the respective governments. Let us inform that farmers have been staging a sit-in at different borders of Delhi since November last year against the three agricultural laws brought by the Central Government. Due to this many routes have to be diverted and there are long jams at many places.
