Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday urged farmers opposing the new agricultural laws to end the agitation. He said that we had sent a proposal to the farmers on behalf of the government. In this, all the questions of the farmers were answered. Despite this, if they are unable to reach a decision, it is very painful in my mind. I assure the farmer brothers that the MSP will continue.
Farmer leader said, now trains will stop
Farmer leaders here said that we had given an ultimatum of the 10th date that if the Prime Minister did not listen to our words and did not repeal the laws then all the dharna would come on the railway track. In today's meeting, it was decided that now people from all over India will go on the railway track. Samyukta Kisan Manch will announce its date soon. Farmer leader Buta Singh from Singh Border has said that on 14th, dharna will be allowed outside all the DC offices of Punjab.
The government should decide in favor of farmers
Farmer leader Buta Singh said that the Prime Minister says that the dialogue should continue and we believe the same. At the same time, the Agriculture Minister says that if the farmers accept their amendments, then only the negotiations will continue, otherwise, it will not happen. Again we are betted ... We condemn it. The Prime Minister is talking about something else, the Home Minister is talking about something else, the Agriculture Minister is talking about something else. I request that we are united and our elected government should also unite and decide in favor of the farmers ...
Government ready to negotiate: Tomar
Earlier, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that the first demand of farmers is to repeal the law. The government's side is that the government is ready to discuss the provisions of the law to which the farmers have reservations. The government has no ego and the government has no problem sitting and discussing with them. The Agriculture Minister also said that such fears that big industrialists will occupy the land of farmers are wrong.
The agreement will not be done on land
He said that contract farming has already been done in many states of the country. Under this law, the agreement will be between the processor and the crop of the farmer. There can be no agreement related to the land of the farmer. As for the MSP, I have assured everyone that the MSP will continue. There is no danger in this. Rabi and Kharif crops were purchased very well this year on MSP. Under the leadership of Modi Ji, the MSP has been reduced by one and a half times ...
Doubts on electricity act
The Union Agriculture Minister said that he feels that an act of electricity is coming, which will create some problems for the farmers. The government has also overcome this fear. As per the present system, the transfer of subsidy amount to the state governments will also be in the amendment bill. It will go on as it goes. I urge the farmer brothers to consider the government's proposal. When they say we are ready to discuss…
Weakness will not allow movement
At the same time, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that there were some concerns that farmers would be forced to sell their produce in the private market. This apprehension is unfounded. There is no provision in the new agricultural laws, which compels any farmer. At the same time, Manjit Singh, leader of the Bharatiya Kisan Union on the Singhu border, said that the government intends to weaken the farmers' movement, but this will not happen. Many more farmers are coming to Delhi to join the movement.
