3. Bhupinder Singh Mann, Chairman, All India Farmers Coordination Committee
Their committee supported the agricultural laws
Sardar Bhupinder Singh Mann, born on 15 September 1939 in Gujranwala (now in Pakistan), has always worked for farmers. Because of this, the President nominated him to the Rajya Sabha in 1990. He is also the chairman of the All India Farmers Coordination Committee. Mann has some objections to agricultural laws. His committee wrote a letter to Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on 14 December. In this, he supported the agricultural laws with some objections. The letter wrote, 'Today we have come forward to support the government in favor of those laws which have been passed under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to free India's agricultural system.'
4. Anil Ghanvat, President, Shetkari Sangathan
He said that these laws will increase investment in villages
Anil Ghanwat is the president of Shetkari Sangathan, a large farmers' organization in Maharashtra. This organization was formed in 1979 by elder farmer leader Sharad Joshi. It was only in 1979 that a group of farmers blocked the Pune-Nashik highway to fix higher onion prices. This group was led by Ghanvat. In 2018, Ghanvat sowed HT Bt cotton seeds in Akola, leading more than a thousand farmers, while the government banned these seeds.
Ghanvat says that with the introduction of these laws, investment in building cold storage and warehouses in villages will increase. If under the pressure of two states (Punjab and Haryana), these laws are withdrawn, then this will close the path of open market for farmers. He described the farmers' movement in Delhi as being politically motivated and provoking the opposition.
