In this pandemic, government passed Farm bills hurriedly in Rajyasabha suspending some opposition leaders who were against of the bills.
Goverment termed it as a historic act which will protect farmers from middlemen and broker who used to take away lion's share of the farmers.
Actually some farmers are worried and their concern lies between scraping of Minimum Support Price (MSP) and not focussing on the plight of farmers. Although goverment promised that MSP will remain intact, the New Farm Act does not clearly mention any where about MSP. Some farmers are silent or neutral from the government action and the wide protest movements.
The wide protests are not limited in Punjab, Haryana but also sprawled it's leg in the adjacent areas like UP, Rajasthan, Uttrakhand, where farmers are trying to carry out their protest reach to Delhi.
The other reasons of worry is goverment is more focussing on consumers than producers. Goverment stops export to control hiking price of agricultural products and increases imports. In other case when price is stable, goverment forget the farmers. In both the cases farmers face losses.
We talk long on farmers like Jai jawan jai Kisan, India is an agrarian state, etc but we hardly address the issues of farmers that make causes of plights of farmers. Mockingly, farmers are thwarted to carry out their movements to Delhi due to Civid 19 pandemic.
Goverment should bring such kind of mechanism so that the worries of farmers can be addressed.
