BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to accept the demand for a statutory MSP guarantee for farmers' crops, saying his agitation would not end without it.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, the MP from Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh also asked him to take action against Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra 'Teni' for the Lakhimpur Kheri violence without naming him.
Gandhi thanked Modi for repealing three agricultural laws. A day after Modi announced the withdrawal of three agriculture laws, he said, if this decision had been taken earlier, innocent lives would not have been lost.
In his letter, Gandhi underlined the need to accede to the demand of farmers on the Minimum Support Price (MSP). "Without the resolution of this demand, this movement will not end and there will be widespread resentment among them, which will continue to erupt in one form or the other," he said. Therefore, the farmers need to get the statutory guarantee of MSP for their crops.
He said that due to legal binding on MSP, farmers will get a lot of financial security. He said, 'I humbly request you that the government should immediately accept this demand in the interest of our country.' Gandhi described the Lakhimpur incident in which several farmers were killed and said it was a 'blot on our democracy. Without naming the minister, he said, 'I request you that appropriate action should be taken against the Union minister involved in this incident so that a fair investigation can be done.'
He also demanded that a compensation of Rs 1 crore should be given to the farmers who were martyred in this movement and all politically motivated false FIRs against the protesting farmers be quashed.
