Kisan Sabha demands PM to accept amends in farm bills before farmers talk with govt

Lucknow, Oct 5 (UNI) All India Kisan Sabha on Monday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi publically accept amendments in the recently passed three agriculture related Acts then only the farmer organisations will be ready to talk with the Government.

In a statement here, All India Kisan Sabha National General Secretary Atul Kumar Anjaan and Working President Bhupinder Sambher further said in a joint press statement that the Prime Minister, his cabinet and BJP leaders must stop canard against the farmers and not to mislead on Swaminathan Commission report.

Both the AIKS leaders said that Agriculture Minister Mr Tomar is falsely trying to mislead by saying that out of 201 Recommendations of Swaminathan Commission the Modi Government has accepted and implemented 200 recommendations.

The Kisan leaders said that such misleading irresponsible vilification campaign can’t subside the genuine anxieties and angst of agrarian masses and Agri-experts who in one voice are pointing to the dangers to their employment and livelihood as also to food security, economic self-sufficiency of the nation.

Mr Anjaan, who is a senior CPI leader, and Mr Samber squarely pointed that bigger interests of nation are being hypothecated to the corporates and their political bosses in the name of reforms while maize, cotton, basmati and other crops are selling below MSP in Punjab and other states in the absence of Govt and CCI procurement.
The peasant leaders urged the Central Govt and PM Modi to stop this vilification campaign and take concrete steps to agree publicly that amendments in favour of farmers will be done in just passed three Acts, which are rightly being dubbed in their present form as anti-farmer, anti-agriculture and anti-economic self-sufficiency.
