Modi govt should end farm laws stalemate: Bhagwant Mann
Description
CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab president Bhagwant Mann said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government should end the stalemate and take the talks with farmers’ delegation seriously. The Sangrur MP was reacting to the decision of farmers’ organisations to resume talks with the central government on the farm laws issue on December 29. “Farmers have decided to resume talks with the government. The government should listen to the farmers and must immediately accept the four-point agenda of repealing of the central farm laws, provisions to guarantee purchase on MSP, exclusion of farmers from the penalties as per air quality management in NCR, and changes in the Electricity Amendment Bill,” he said. Mann said already five rounds of talks with the government had failed to yield any result as the “ruthlessly insensitive Modi-led central government was unmoved” by the plight of the farming fraternity. It was a high time for the government to listen to the voice of lakhs of farmers fighting for their survival on the Delhi borders, he added.
