How can agitation do good to farmers, asks Narendra Singh Tomar

On a day the farmers’ protest on the borders of Delhi accomplished 100 days, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar requested “how this agitation can do good to the farmer” and if opposition ought to come “at the cost of the country”.
“Loktantra mein asahmati ka apna sthaan hai, virodh ka bhi apna sthaan hai, matbhed ke bhi apane mahatv hai, lekin kya virodh is keemat par kiya jana chahiye jo desh ka nuksaan kare? Aaj jo aandolan chal raha hai, vah aandolan kis tarah se kisaan ka bhala kar sakta hai, is baat par koi baat karne ko taiyaar nahin hain (There is a place for disagreement and opposition in democracy. Differences also have their own importance, but should opposition come at a price that will harm the country? The agitation that is going on today, no one is willing to talk about how this can do good to the farmer),” Tomar mentioned at ‘Agrivision 2021’, organised by Vidyarthi Kalyan Nyas, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Ministry of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry, and the ABVP on Saturday.
Tomar’s remarks are important as he’s main a three-member ministerial committee in talks with the agitating farmer unions. The final dialogue was held on January 22 and the talks haven’t resumed since. The unions had rejected the federal government’s proposal to remain the legal guidelines for 18 months.
“On the directions of the Prime Minister, I held talks with the unions 11-12 occasions and proposed some amendments…
Even when the movement of thanks was being mentioned on the President’s handle, the individuals of the opposition spoke solely prominently on the farmers’ motion, however I’m unhappy that individuals who declare to be consultants on agriculture, didn’t attempt to point out any provision of the agricultural reform Bills to which they’ve any objection,” the Agriculture Minister mentioned.

“Everyone has freedom to do politics in democracy, but will politics be done by killing the farmer? Will politics be done by hurting the farmer? Will intentions be fulfilled by ruining the country’s agricultural economy? The new generation has to definitely think over it,” Tomar mentioned.
Stating that the federal government’s proposal to amend the farm legal guidelines shouldn’t be seen as if there are flaws within the Acts, Tomar mentioned, including that the federal government is devoted to the farmers and “therefore we gave a proposal for certain amendments”.
