New Delhi-

  Amidst tensions in Parliament, the Rajya Sabha passed the Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, the Farmers 'Benefit and Production Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Convenience) Bill, 2020 and the Farmers' (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement.  Opposition leaders voiced strong opposition after it was raised in parliament.

  Other Congress-led opposition parties have criticized the farm bills, saying they would not sign "death warrants" for farmers.  Opponents allege that the two bills are intended to fund corporate entities, benefit them and end the government's minimum-cost procurement process.
