Nagpur: Bhartiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), RSS Farmers’ Clothing, will hold protests seeking laws that make purchasing agricultural products with mandatory minimum support (MSP) prices, even for private traders.
The organization has also objected to several provisions in three new agricultural laws that lead to farmers’ protests in Delhi.
Overcoming a press conference on campus RSS Smruti Mandir, BKS organized Secretary Dinesh Kulkarni said protests would be held in 525 districts throughout the country on September 8.
“Demands are discussed with the government, but there is no further action.
The government seems indifferent to all agricultural problems, especially after talks with the protest of agricultural leaders (from Bharatiya Kisan Union) failed.
The government is ready to receive almost all demands but the clothes are only interested in Agitation, “Kulkarni told Ti by telephone.
September 8 protests will be held symbolically, adhere to the Covid protocol.
Further actions will be decided after the first protest, said Kulkarni.
In three agriculture laws, Kulkarni said that because they allowed purchases outside the agricultural marketing committee (APMC), farmers could not be abandoned at the mercy of traders.
Trade and trade and facilitation of farmers (promotion and facilitation) allows trade even outside the appointed APMC market.
Under the new law, anyone who has a permanent account number (PAN) can buy agricultural products.
“This can be a risky proposition and there must be a stronger norm to ensure payments to farmers.
This can be in the form of a bank guarantee or similar mechanism,” said the essential commodity (amendment) bias against small and medium traders, said Kulkarni.
The law calls for forcing stock limits to traders if the level of results that is not easily damaged increase by 50% compared to the previous 12 months.
It’s 100% for easy damaged items.
The limit is only valid for small and medium traders; Larger players don’t have limits, he said.
Kulkarni added, “Remunerative prices are the main solution to the problem of farmers and also their main demand.
MSP is only on paper.
Even because prices are stated for a number of plants, there is no mechanism to get a level to farmers.
There needs to be strict laws , making it mandatory to buy not below MSP.
