Farmers have the right to organise peaceful agitations – says the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

The farmers agitation has entered 24th day today, despite cold wave conditions in North India. The peacefully agitating farmers are being branded as "terrorists". It is also being maligned that  Pakistan and China are behind the farmers' agitation. As a part of maligning the farmers' agitation, petitions were filed in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, praying for the banning of the farmers’ agitation. 

However, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, which heard the case yesterday, has stated that the farmers have the right to organise peaceful agitation. The three Judge Bench, headed by the Chief Justice S.A. Bobde, has suggested to the Central Government to consider putting the Farm Acts on hold. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has also suggested that an independent committee of experts, consisting of people like Shri P. Sainath, to be constituted, to look into the whole issue.
