Meanwhile, Union minister and Member of Parliament from Muzaffarnagar Sanjeev Balyan mentioned the three agri legal guidelines can be helpful for the farmers.
If a single farmer’s land is taken away due to the farm legal guidelines, I’ll resign as an MP. The legal guidelines had been enacted in accordance with the desires of the farmers, he mentioned.
Thousands of farmers have been protesting since late November on the Delhi borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, demanding a rollback of the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; Farmers’ (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
The protesting farmers have expressed apprehension that these legal guidelines would pave the best way for the dismantling of the minimal help value (MSP) system, leaving them on the “mercy” of large firms.
However, the federal government has maintained that the brand new legal guidelines will deliver higher alternatives to farmers and introduce new applied sciences in agriculture.
