Reliance: Not in contract farming business; vested interest behind attack on telecom towers

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd on Monday said it is not in the business of corporate or contract farming and blamed “vested interests” behind vandalisation of the firm’s telecom towers in Punjab.

The company also filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking the help of authorities to stop attacks on its telecom towers by farmers protesting against the three new farm laws on the belief that they favour big corporates.

First in a statement and later in a petition before the High Court, the company said it has “nothing whatsoever to do with the three farm laws currently debated in the country, and in no way benefits from them”.
