Members already supported laws. They are already biased. Bias had formed the support to laws.
Repeal the laws. India is a democracy, not PM as dictator. People’s voice should be heard. Ministers are all liars. They speak one to media but opposite in negotiations. Modi government only created chaos. But blames congress. Arrogantly like dictator with brute majority you brought laws. Repeal them. Do you want to make ambani Adhani still richer? Repeal the laws.
