The Bengal government will table a resolution during an Assembly session on Thursday (January 28), demanding the withdrawal of new farm laws.

The two-day Assembly session will begin on January 27 and the resolution will be tabled under Rule 169 on January 28.

In December 2020, Mamata Banerjee called for a 3-day protest in Kolkata in support of the agitating farmers against the new farm laws.

On Tuesday (January 26), protestors from farmers' Republic Day tractor rally deviated from their pre-designated route and created ruckus at various places in Delhi.

Many police officials were injured in the violent clashes with the agitating farmers which witnessed breaking the barricades laid by the police, rash driving, vandalising of police vehicles by the farmer groups and the use of tear gas and water cannons in retaliation, by the Delhi Police.
