Ghartu Ram (Former Minister) Chairman Kissan Congress a protest rally was held at Kathua against the three anti-farmers bills passed in the parliament leading to large scale protests by the Kissans of all over India. The protesters holding play cards and banners amidst raising slogans passed through main bazaar Kathua and submitted memorandum to Dy. Commissioner.

Speaking on the occasion Ch. Gharu ram said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenure has been disastrous for India’s farmers, agricultural labour, sharecroppers, and tenant farmers. Crores of families are suffering due to the Modi Sarkar’s anti-farmer policies. PM Modi made tall promises to farmers: E.g., Farmer incomes will double; MSP at 50% over cost of production (cost + 50%). Sadly, farmers have been cheated badly.

He said that through these bills passed by Parliament during the Monsoon Session by overriding the objections raised by opposition parties. The Congress party strongly opposed these laws because they are anti-farmer and will lead to grave distress for the farming community. farmers will only be in loss due to these bills as the government has allowed the big corporate houses and business establishments to overtake the farming sector. The produce to which farmers are sole owners and decided the price at Mandi evel directly will be now replaced by big corpoprate sectors and APMC will be replaced by Minimum Support Price (MSP) wherein farmers will not have direct hand over their produce and its price.

He said that the BJP Government under the garb of new legislation wants to implement the Shanta Kumar Committee Report, as opinioned by most of the Agriculture experts, thus bringing an end to the procurement system on MSP through FCI, as a result of this the farmers shall be solely dependent upon contract farming where the big company would determine the rates of the produce at their own discretion.

Ch. Gharu Ram said that Congress party has always fought the battle for the rights of famers and farm labours and would stand shoulder to shoulder in their struggle under the leadership of Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Shri Rahul Gandhi and would oppose the black laws against the rights of the farmers.
