Opposition to Agricultural Laws: New demand for farmers - Government brings separate bill on MSP; The movement will end only when all three laws are back

Posted on 10th Dec 2020 by rohit kumar

Today is the 15th day of the farmers' movement on the borders of Delhi in protest against the new agricultural laws. The government's written attempt to persuade the farmers after 6 rounds of talks also failed on Wednesday. The farmers are now busy in intensifying the movement. Meanwhile, Rakesh Tikait, spokesperson of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, has said that the government's interest is only in ending the protest. However, the movement will not end until all three laws are withdrawn. Tikait has also demanded a separate bill on minimum support price (MSP).

 

'Government wants to weaken the movement'

Farmers are preparing to jam the highway across the country. Indian Farmers Union leader Manjit Singh has said that the government wants to weaken our movement. But, a lot of farmers are reaching Delhi to join it. We are also appealing to the people of Delhi for support.

 

Government will appeal to end the agitation today

The news agency quoted sources as saying that Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar will appeal to the farmers today to end the agitation and work out a solution together. Agriculture Minister will also hold a press conference.

 

Union Minister said- China-Pakistan's hand in peasant movement

If the government is adamant about not withdrawing the law, the farmers are also firm on their stand. There is also rhetoric. Union Minister of State for Food Supplies, Raosaheb Danve said that China has a hand in Pakistan in the farmers' movement. Danve said that Muslims were first instigated by the CAA and NRC. If these efforts failed, now farmers are being encouraged. The Union Minister said this on Wednesday at the health center's inauguration program in Aurangabad.

 

'Minister's statement insulting farmers'

Allan Kisan Sabha general secretary Hannan Mola has responded to the statement of the Union Minister. He says that it is insulting to the farmers of the country. Farmers are fighting for their interests, other forces cannot bother them.

 

Farmers await second proposal

The government sent a 22-page proposal, including changes in agricultural laws, to the farmers on Wednesday, but it became worse rather than being made. The farmers rejected the government paper outright and said that now all the national highways including Jaipur-Delhi and Agra-Delhi highways will be blocked. Ambani, Boycott of Adani's product and BJP leaders will be gheraoed. Meanwhile, another proposal of the government will also be awaited.

 

Politics, Hooda and Badal were also discussed in the proposal

The farmers had asked the government on whose recommendation the law should come. The government has given in writing that in 2010 a committee was formed under the leadership of the then Chief Minister of Haryana Bhupendra Hooda. The government has mentioned the names of Hooda and former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, while the committee also included the chief ministers of Bengal, Bihar, and Maharashtra.
