After Punjab and Rajasthan, Delhi has become the third state to pass a resolution against farm laws. Thousands of farmers are camped around Delhi and its adjoining borders protesting against the farm laws.
"I want to ask Centre how many sacrifices farmers will have to make, to get their voices heard," Kejriwal said.
"Delhi Assembly today rejected all 3 Farm laws & have appealed Central govt that it should take back these black laws. More than 20 farmers have died during 20 days of protest. On average, one farmer is getting martyred daily in this movement," the CM said.

"Every farmer has become Bhagat Singh. Govt is saying that they are reaching out to farmers & trying to explain the benefits of Farm Bills. UP CM told farmers that they'll benefit from these bills as their land won't be taken away. Is it a benefit?," he asked.
The AAP leader also posed a question to the Central government that what was the hurry to pass the farm laws in the Parliament during the pandemic.
"What was the hurry to get Farm Laws passed in Parliament during pandemic? It has happened for 1st time that 3 laws were passed without voting in Rajya Sabha...I hereby tear 3 Farm laws in this assembly & appeal Centre not to become worst than Britishers," he said in the assembly.
