Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, in his address to the Assembly said his government would pass resolutions against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the new Union farm laws during the Budget Session.
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has taken up the issue of the farmers and the negative impact of the Union farm laws ever since the bills were passed, Stalin added. The DMK had been demanding the withdrawal of the farm-related legislations ever since they were enacted.
