A litany of lies is one of the many tools of misinformation being used to discredit the #FarmLaws & derail the negotiations by vested interest groups. 

That these laws were not debated & 'rushed through' top the list of such canards.

#IndiaTogether
#IndiaAgainstPropaganda
Here are the facts. Economic Survey 2021 mentions that 15 committees formed between 2001-2020 by different govts deliberated the farm reforms. Unlike the fake narrative the laws were clearly not 'rushed.' Many of those now vitiating the narrative have supported these for decades.
Then again, if those who are now egging on the farmers were as serious about their opposition to the laws 36 opposition members should not have been absent when RS debated these laws for more than 4 hours on 20 Sept 2020.
Bills were passed through voice vote. Even if there was a division, they would have lost because they did not have the required strength. This more than any place else is where they could have stopped the passage of the bill if they were present in RS in full strength.
Some screenshots of the 4 hour long debate on Farm Laws in RS are attached through this thread. I have the entire document in case somebody still has doubts on whether the laws were discussed & debated or not.

Classic case of a lazy opposition!

If Sh @digvijaya_28 had done some homework & checked his facts, he would have discovered that the proposal for the New Parliament Building had been around even when his party was in power.
The same sentiment of the then Hon'ble Lok Sabha Speaker Smt Meira Kumar Ji was conveyed by her OSD in 2012 when he emphasised this demand in a letter to the then Secretary, Urban Development.
Even the then Rural Development Minister @Jairam_Ramesh had said in his interview given to @The_Hindu in 2012, that “we badly need a new parliament building. This one simply isn’t functional and is outdated.”

In order to promote Agri-produce export, GoI has launched Krishi Udan Scheme, which provides waiver of landing & parking charges by AAI for Indian freighters & P2C (Passenger to Cargo aircraft). 

@MSBADAL @PIB_India @BJP4Punjab @MoCA_GoI @rajchengappa
The concession is available only if Agri-produce accounts for over 50% percent of total chargeable weight of cargo carried. Amritsar Sahib, Adampur, Bathinda, Pathankot, Chandigarh & Ludhiana airports are included in the Scheme.
India follows a very liberal Air Cargo Policy. Foreign &Indian carriers can operate scheduled international cargo flights from any point in India, including Amritsar Sahib &Chandigarh. Spicejet has also undertaken 14 Cargo flights on Delhi-Amritsar-Moscow route, since April 2020.

പൊതു മേഖലയും സ്വകാര്യ മേഖലയും കൂടിയുള്ള പങ്കാളിത്തത്തിൽ (Public Private Partnership) ഉള്ള വിമാനത്താവള വികസന സംരംഭങ്ങളുടെ കാര്യത്തിൽ കേരളം വളരെ മുന്നിലാണ്. ഇന്ത്യയിൽ ആദ്യത്ത PPP അടിസ്ഥാനത്തിലുള്ള എയർ പോർട്ട് CIAL കൊച്ചിയിലാണ് ഉയർന്നു വന്നത്.
വർഷം1.3 കോടി passenger capacity ഉള്ള CIAL, 2019- 20 വർഷം COVID-19 നു മുമ്പുള്ള കാലയളവു കണക്കിൽ എടുത്താൽ 96.2 ലക്ഷം യാത്രക്കാരെ കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്ത് വളരെ വിജയകരമായ രീതിയിൽ പ്രവർത്തിച്ചു വരുന്നു.
അതു പോലെ കേരളത്തിൽ ഉള്ള ഒരു വിജയകരമായ PPP സംരംഭത്തിൻ്റെ ഉദാഹരണമാണ് കണ്ണൂർ വിമാനത്താവളം. യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ കൊച്ചി എയർപോർട്ടിൻ്റെ ശിലാസ്ഥാപനം 1994 ലെ UDF ഭരണകാലത്തും ഉദ്ഘാടനം 1999ൽ LDF ഭരണകാലത്തും ആയിരുന്നു.

Kerala is the pioneer as far as airports under Public Private Partnership are concerned. First PPP airport in India came up in Kochi in Kerala. It is a successfully run airport with a capacity of 13 Million Passengers Per Annum & was handling 9.62 MPPA in 2019-20 before COVID19.
Another very successful example of PPP mode is Kannur, also situated in Kerala. In fact, it was during the UDF regime in Kerala that the foundation for Kochi airport was laid in 1994 & the airport was inaugurated in 1999 during LDF regime.
Now, Kerala Government, running two very successful airports in PPP mode, is opposing the handing over of Thiruvananthapuram airport under PPP mode. It has come to my knowledge that an all-party meeting in Kerala has opposed the PPP model at Thiruvananthapuram airport.
