PANAJI: The Congress in Goa on Monday staged a protest at the Raj Bhavan here to protest against the three new agricultural laws and demanded their rollback.

In a memorandum submitted at the Raj Bhavan, Goa Congress leaders leading more than 1,000 protestors claimed the new legislations were "anti-farmer but corporate-friendly".

Parliament passed the three Bills in its Monsoon Session. President Ram NathKovind gave his assent on September 24 whereas the central government published it its gazette on Sunday. (IANS)
