Bengaluru: Former Prime Minister and JDS leader HD Deve Gowda on Friday said that he has decided to boycott the president’s address to the joint sitting of both the Houses of Parliament in solidarity with the farmers protesting the new farm laws.
“In solidarity with my farmer brothers fighting against the three #FarmLaws, I have decided, after consulting my party @JanataDal_S units, not to attend the President’s joint address of Parliament today,” tweeted Deve Gowda.
The opposition parties led by Congress and backed by the Left parties and a few regional parties decided on Thursday not to attend Kovind’s joint address. They have also demanded a probe into the Centre’s role in violence on Republic Day in Delhi.
