The Kerala government will not implement the contentious farm laws and will move the Supreme Court against them this week itself.  Agriculture Minister VS Sunilkumar said in Thrissur on Monday,  "We will not implement the farm laws. The state government is ready to face any action to be taken by the central government. We will move the Supreme Court against these laws this week itself," he told reporters.

He said the Centre's move amounted to usurping the authority of state governments, which has been ensured by the Constitution. He said, ‘The new laws, which take away the food security and independence of the country, will surrender it before the corporate giants, which will, in turn, destroy our public distribution system.”

Ten Central Unions and over 300 farmers and agricultural workers organisations have given a call for ''Bharat Bandh'' on December 8 in protest against the farm laws.
