The farmers have urged the PM to formulate another law that guarantees MSP
NOIDA/GHAZIABAD: Members of two outfits protesting at Dalit Prerna Sthal have written letters in blood, asking the Prime Minister to withdraw the three “black laws”. The Bharatiya Kisan Union-Lokshakti and Kisan Ekta Manch have also urged the PM to formulate another law that guarantees minimum support price and the formation of a farmers’ commission in keeping with the Swaminathan committee report.
For BKU-Lokshakti, the letter was written by national president, Shyoraj Singh. On Wednesday, a physician was called to Dalit Prerna Sthal and he extracted blood from Singh. After the letter was written, it was handed over to the city magistrate. Pratap Nagar, national treasurer of the outfit, said they wrote the letter because the government wasn’t listening. “Farmers have been sitting in this cold not out of will but compulsion. Many have died during the course of agitation. Despite all this, the government is not listening. Every day, one of us will write a similar letter,” he added. At least five members of Kisan Ekta Manch also wrote letters in blood. They included the outfit’s national president, Soran Pradhan.
