Thank you for replying Mr. Ambassador...but your claim is in contradiction with what state media, the company and even three officials involved with the deal (Andargie Bekele, Mulugeta Seid Samuel Urkato) have said. Firstly...
A recent report in Quartz Africa falsely claimed a \u201cVirginia-based energy firm, signed a $3.6 billion deal with Ethiopia\u2019s ministry of Mines and Petroleum on April 28 to construct an oil refinery in Ethiopia\u2019s oil-rich Somali region.\u201d https://t.co/uBAuDhoutE @ZekuZelalem

CJI: our intention is to see if we can bring about an amicable resolution to the problem. That is why we asked you why don't you put the #FarmBills on hold. You want time for negotiation. If there is some sense of responsibility showing that you will not implement the laws

Here is the thing - a law can be stayed based on usual methods, it can be held unconstitutional based on violation of the Constitution. There is no shortcut to this based on the say so of even a large number of people, merely because they are loud.
AG Venugopal: none of the petitions point to any provision of three farm acts stating that it is unconstitutional

CJI: we are not declaring it unconstitutional
AG: laws cannot be stayed. This is drastic
Tomorrow can all the income tax payers also gather up at whichever maidan and ask for repealing the income tax law? It hurts us and we can protest quite loudly.
How can a law be stayed or over-turned based on the nuisance value of the protestors? It is anarchy to allow that.
