A session of the cabinet meeting held in Kerala on Monday decided to convene a special assembly session on December 23 to consider the contentious farm laws enacted by the Centre.

A resolution will be passed in the assembly session against the three agriculture laws that are being strongly opposed by the CPI(M) led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF).

Finance Minister Thomas Isaac in a tweet said Kerala was in ''total solidarity'' with the farmers' struggle and the session would discuss and 'reject' the laws. The session has been called to discuss the three agricultural laws against which farmers have held country-wide agitations,'' a press statement issued by the Chief Minister's office said.

Assembly sources said the brief session will discuss the three agricultural laws enacted by the centre and pass a resolution against them. Only leaders of the respective parties in the House will participate in the discussion. The special session is being convened in the backdrop of thousands of farmers, especially from Punjab and Haryana, camping at various borders of Delhi for almost four weeks demanding the repeal of the three agricultural laws as their talks with the government representatives remained deadlocked.

The farmers are apprehending that the new laws will pave the way for a dismantling of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism and the mandi system, leaving them to the ''mercy'' of big corporates, which the union government insists are misplaced..
