New Delhi: The third day of Kisan Sansad takes a different turn with women protestors taking charge and running the proceedings entirely on Monday. Farmer leaders Suhasini Ali and Suman Hooda are performing the role of Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively. Questions related to the three contentious farm laws are being raised and discussed.
While heading towards Jantar Mantar, women protestors told media that they will run an all-women independent 'Kisan Sansad'."For the first time, women will independently run the parliament ('Kisan Sansad')," said one of them.
The MPs passed black laws related to agriculture, education, and labour laws. Women, youth, students, labour, and farmers have critiqued the Parliament on the recent laws, said one of the protestors. "Our blood and sweat is not for you to waste but it is for the development of the nation, we will not bear these laws and will continue to raise questions on the Parliament," she added.

In agitation against the Centre's farm laws, farmers are gearing up to organize a tractor rally along with tableaus in the entire city on Independence day, said Bijendra Sindhu, farmer leader. Sindhu also added that they have decided not to allow any minister to hoist the tricolour on the occasion.
Farmers' protest against the controversial farm laws began on November 26, 2020. Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farms Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020 have been widely contended.
