Soon after Union Minister Rajnath Singh briefed the media over the controversial farm Bills, Congress said the legislations, which were passed in Rajya Sabha amid a din, are against the interest of farmers and the day will be remembered as a black day for democracy.

The party announced to move a no confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh who, according to Congress and other Opposition parties, did not pay heed to the demands of the Opposition benches and by action completely favoured and worked for the Government.

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who is abroad, tweeted  that the farmers grow gold from land, but the arrogance of the Modi government is making farmers shed tears of blood.

“I saw the press conference by Rajnath Singh and five other Ministers. They are justifying Deputy Chairman’s action and attitude. That was very unfortunate. We expected decent reaction from senior Ministers. They should have at least condemned the practice by Deputy Chairman,” said Congress leader KC Venugopal during press briefing. He was joined by party leaders Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Randeep Surjewala, Rajeev Satav and Pratap Singh Bajwa.

“The members become upset. Everyone went in the well of the House. BJP leader Bhupinder Yadav was also seen whispering in Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman’s ear. What conspiracy is happening? Today’s entire episode was a conspiracy by BJP leaders. We are not going to leave this issue,” Venugopal said addressing late event press conference.
