BJP's Kisan Morcha national president Rajkumar Chahar on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the opposition, saying they were "misleading" the farmers due to political considerations.
He said the farm laws were meant to set farmers free from restrictions which they had suffered for decades.
"These laws are meant to empower farmers and set them free from restrictions...But some political outfits, especially the Congress, are opposing the reforms and misleading the farmers due to political considerations," Chahar told a news conference.
Earlier, he took part in a 'tractor rally' organised here by the city unit of the BJP in support of the farm laws.
Attacking the Congress, he said, "It is laughable that the party is opposing the three laws, which had in their election manifesto talked of open markets."
"In Punjab too before the 2017 polls, the Congress party had talked about bringing some changes, but now they are trying to mislead the farmers. But I want to say that the falsehood they are trying to spread is like smoke which will not last for long."
