It is the job of the Government of India to listen to them.\u201d The Centre can bring in new laws after due consultation with the farmers, he said, pointing out that the Constitution has been amended many times and can be done again for the revocation of the recently enacted farm legislations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noting that farmers from across the country had joined the protests against the Farm Laws, Captain Amarinder said after 6-7 meetings, it was time that the matter is resolved and the farmers, who are sitting out in the cold and rains, can go back and everyone else can get on with their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Minister lambasted those calling the protesting farmers Naxals and terrorists, terming it as wrong and irresponsible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REJECTS AS `IRRESPONSIBLE &amp; MISCHEVOUS&rsquo; MEDIA STATEMENTS THAT PUNJAB HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED CENTRE&rsquo;S LAWS Chandigarh, January 6-Stressing that there was nothing wrong with the demands of the farmers, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday urged the Prime Minister to immediately repeal the Farm Laws in order to resolve the crisis.
