Bengaluru: Even as the Karnataka Bandh called by farmer, labour and other associations in protest against the amendments to Land Reforms, APMC and Labour Acts on Monday drew mixed response across the State, the Opposition Congress which had backed the Bandh, submitted a memorandum to Governor Vajubhai R. Vala at Raj Bhavan here yesterday urging him to reject Farm Bills and the amended Acts, which it (Congress) said were anti-farmer and anti-people.
Later speaking to press persons, KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar said that the Congress has submitted two petitions to the Governor — one against the Farm Bills introduced by the Centre and the other against the recent amendments made by the State Government to Land Reforms, APMC and Labour Acts.
