While the farmers' demand for legalising MSP is being questioned for the allegedly hefty expenditure the government would have to incur, the potential sundry benefits it would have for the agricultural sector in general outweigh the costs.
Give surety of MSP, withdraw criminal cases : What are Samyukt Kisan Morcha’s demands from PM Modi? - The Samyukt Kisan Morcha has penned an open letter to PM Modi, asking him to adhere to six of their demands for the protest to end.
The farmers’ group welcomed the PM’s decision to repeal the three laws but noted that it came as a “unilateral declaration rather than a bilateral solution”.
Amid the controversy over the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Saturday presented five demands in a joint press conference and also asked for the resignation of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra and the immediate arrest of his son Ashish Mishra.
