Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) subsidiary Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL), in a petition filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court today, said Reliance has nothing to do with the three farm laws and in no way benefits from them. The company said that Reliance Retail, Jio Infocomm or any of its affiliate companies have not done any "corporate" or "contract" farming in the past, and have no plans to do so in future.
"Neither Reliance nor any of our subsidiaries has purchased any agricultural land, directly or indirectly, in Punjab or Haryana or anywhere else in India, for the purpose of "corporate" or "contract" farming. We have absolutely no plans to do so," the company said.
The company said the purpose of linking Reliance to these laws is to harm its businesses and reputation. It urged the government to intervene to stop the illegal acts of vandalism of its towers by miscreants.
"These acts of violence have endangered the lives of thousands of its employees and caused damage and disruption to the vital communications infrastructure, sales and service outlets run by its subsidiaries in the two states," the petition stated.
