Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “The manner in which today eight MPs belonging to the Congress and other parties were suspended from the Rajya Sabha, the manner in which the voice of our colleagues who were raising their voice against the black laws was sought to be silenced shows that Modiji has brought the Gujarat model to Parliament." Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, “We want to ask the government if it was necessary to bring the legislation in such a manner that it may boil down to privatisation of the agricultural sector,”
