Three controversial laws at the core of farmer protests have been paused by the Supreme Court and the government will respect the order, President Ram Nath Kovind said today while strongly defending the measures. The government is trying to tackle misgivings over the laws, he told parliament in his traditional budget session address, which was boycotted by over 20 opposition parties in support of the farmers' demand that the three laws be repealed.

Addressing a joint sitting of parliament on the opening day of the Budget session, the President also condemned as "very unfortunate" the violence during the Republic Day tractor rally by farmers in Delhi.
