New Delhi | Jagran News Desk: Union Agricultural Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Friday slammed the opposition for misleading farmers over agricultural laws and said that the central government is ready for amendments but that doesn t mean there is any problem in the laws. Tomar further asserted that the MSP will continue, adding that the Modi government committed to welfare of farmers and the new farm laws aimed at boosting their income.
Modi regime steps up repression of farmers opposing its pro-agribusiness laws
“There were several layers of security,” noted an
Indian Express report: “two heavy layers of metal barricading (along with spools of razor wire); a layer of large stone boulders; followed by a layer of (more than 2,000) nails (embedded on the road) and a layer of concrete barricades. A few meters ahead of that was another layer of stone boulders, followed by yet another layer of concrete barricades after a few meters.”
Anyone thinking that this was a description of a war zone would be badly mistaken. The report describes just one element in the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s mounting campaign of repression against farmers who are encamped on the borders of India’s capital, Delhi, as part of a protest against its pro-agribusiness farm laws.
