Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Friday hit out at the Centre over the ongoing farmers\u2019 agitation, alleging that the government has shown shocking insensitivity and arrogance going through the charade of consultations between the centre and protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gandhi made remarks during her opening speech at the virtually held Congress Working Committee(CWC). She spoke on a host of issues, saying there were many pressing issues of public concern that required to be addressed in the upcoming session of Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting was held to finalise the schedule for election of a new party president, to discuss the organisational election schedule sent by the party\u2019s Central Election Authority, among other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the farmers\u2019 protest against the three agricultural laws, Gandhi further said that it was abundantly clear that the three laws were hastily prepared and Parliament consciously refused an opportunity to examine any meaningful details of their implications and impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Congress party\u2019s stand was clear from the beginning that these laws will destroy the foundations of food security based on Minimum Support Price, public procurement and Public Distribution System, added Gandhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
