Shetti: Will raise voice till MSP a reality
Description
Kolhapur: Farmers will continue to raise their voice until the act guaranteeing Minimum Support Price becomes a reality, farmer leader, former MP and Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana president Raju Shetti said on Friday. Welcoming the decision of the Centre to repeal the three contentious farm laws, Shetti said they shouldn’t have been drafted at all. Shetti, who had tabled Private Members’ Bill in the Parliament in 2018, said, “I had introduced two bills — loan waiver to farmers and guaranteeing remunerative prices for farm produce. Now that the farm law that aimed to do away with the MSP system has been repealed, it is time to re-introduce the Private Members’ Bill. Farmers will get remunerative prices without worrying about artificial price drop or frauds.”
