The Punjab government on Sunday decided to extend by a day a one-day special Assembly session called to legislate a state law to negate the 'anti-farmer' farm laws enacted by the central government, officials said. A decision to extend the session to two days will be formally taken at the Business Advisory Committee of the Assembly ahead of the session's start on Monday. "Had a detailed meeting with Congress MLAs to discuss the Centre's farm laws and to hear their views for the special VidhanSabha session which starts tomorrow," the Chief Minister tweeted. Amid a consensus among Congress legislators on the need to reject the farm laws outright and not implement them in the state, Amarinder Singh called for a frontal attack against the legislations, even as he was authorised by his Council of Ministers to take any legislative or legal decision he may deem fit to protect the interests of the state's farmers.
