Badals laid foundation of Centre's farm laws: Sidhu

The Punjab law is the "soul" while the Centre's three "black laws" are the "body", he said.
Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday attacked the Badals, accusing them of laying the foundation of the Centre’s farm laws over which farmers are protesting for the past several months.
The Congress leader alleged that one of the Centre’s laws is a "photostat copy" of the Punjab Contract Farming Act, 2013 enacted during the previous SAD-BJP government led by Parkash Singh Badal.
The Amritsar MLA also claimed that the Badals initially supported the central laws and then took a U-turn after facing heat from farmers.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
