This comes after the two controversial Farm Bills were passed by the Parliament.

The Congress on Thursday, 24 September, will launch a two-month-long “mass movement” against the government for passing “anti-farmer and anti-poor” bills during the monsoon session of Parliament.

The Congress said it will also collect two crore signatures from the farmers which the party will submit to President Ram Nath Kovind seeking withdrawal of these bills.

The decision to hold a country wide protest was taken at the meeting of the Congress general secretaries, state in-charges to discuss the important issues.

This comes in the aftermath of the chaos that ensued in the Parliament during the passage of two controversial farm bills.
