Ruckus on Center’s MSP committee: SKM leader said – not representative of Punjab, Haryana and UP government; There were more farmers in the movement than here

There has been an uproar over the Minimum Support Price (MSP) committee of the Central Government. The United Kisan Morcha (SKM) has raised questions on the committee. He has no representative of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh government in this. Most of the agriculture is done in these states. Most of the farmers in the movement were from here. The United Kisan Morcha said that this committee is not for MSP. Designed to make the already available MSP more effective. This committee also does not have the power to give legal guarantee to the MSP. Like Swaminathan, this committee will also prove to be only on paper. Dust is being thrown in the eyes of the farmers.

Committee will remain only on paper: Lakhhowal
Farmer leader Harinder Singh Lakhhowal said that we had not demanded such a committee. We had asked for a committee based only on MSP. What will be the time of the committee?, what will be the powers? Nothing was told about it. This committee will not be able to do any work on MSP. This committee will remain only on paper. In the coming days, a meeting of the United Kisan Morcha (SKM) will be called and will decide whether to go to the committee or not.

Don’t know whether the government will implement the report: Yogendra Yadav
SKM leader Yogendra Yadav said that we had said that we had asked to form a separate committee on MSP. MSP, natural farming and crop diversification have also been included in the new committee. A committee has already been formed for natural farming. Nowhere in this notification it is written that in what time the committee will give its report. There is no discussion about whether the implementation of the report will be mandatory.
