Farmer protest: CM Gehlot writes letter to PM Modi, says …
Jaipur: Farmers’ Agitation against the three new agricultural laws of the Central Government is on the rise. Ashat Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Gehlot has called for a reconsideration of the Farm Laws. Gehlot said in the letter that the central government had introduced the three […]
Gehlot has drawn the attention of the Prime Minister to the fact that while Constitution Day was being celebrated across the country on November 26, sticks and water fountains were being run on the country’s food donors. It is not fair for the central government to deprive farmers of their right to protest. In the year 2020-21, when the GDP growth rate was 7.5 percent, the agriculture sector grew by 3.4 percent. Even in these difficult times, food donors who have made a positive contribution to the economy should not be given such rewards, Gehlot said. Gehlot has urged the Prime Minister to reconsider these laws to protect the interests of farmers and the values of democracy.
In the letter, Gehlot also informed about the steps taken by the Rajasthan government for the farmers. The Rajasthan government has strengthened the agricultural marketing system. Rajasthan has also provided MSP in contract farming. Arrangements have been made for a dispute to be heard in the market committee and civil court. This is convenient for farmers. Market charges will be levied on traders for purchases made on the premises of the market. A fine of Rs 5 lakh and imprisonment for up to seven years has also been provided to traders and companies for violating contract farming rules or unfairly treating farmers. These points are written by Gehlot in the letter.
