Narendra Singh Tomar pens 8-page letter

Agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar has written an open eight page letter to farmers saying the minimum support price (MSP) is going to continue. In the letter written in Hindi, Tomar sought to alleviate farmers’ concerns, saying the system of agricultural produce market committees (APMCs) will not be stopped. He also said that farmers’ lands are not in danger and agreements that farmers sign will be for crops, not for their land.

The minister wrote: “I am from a farming family. I have grown up seeing, understanding the challenges of farming. I have seen the distress of untimely rain, the happiness of timely monsoon. These were parts of my growing up. I have also seen the week-long wait to sell crops.”

The letter

PM’s appeal to farmers

In an attempt to enhance the reach of Tomar’s letter, PM Modi tweeted: “Narendra Tomar Ji has expressed his feelings by writing a letter to farmer brothers and sisters, trying to have a polite dialogue. I request all the contributors to read it. The countrymen are also urged to make it reach to as many people as possible.”

कृषि मंत्री @nstomar जी ने किसान भाई-बहनों को पत्र लिखकर अपनी भावनाएं प्रकट की हैं, एक विनम्र संवाद करने का प्रयास किया है। सभी अन्नदाताओं से मेरा आग्रह है कि वे इसे जरूर पढ़ें। देशवासियों से भी आग्रह है कि वे इसे ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोगों तक पहुंचाएं। https://t.co/9B4d5pyUF1

Kejriwal tears up copies of farm law

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal tore up copies of the farm bills during a special Assembly session on Thursday and urged the Centre “not to become worse than Britishers”. He said: “I hereby tear three farm laws in this Assembly and appeal to the Centre not to become worse than Britishers. What was the hurry to get farm laws passed in Parliament during the coronavirus pandemic?”

Opposition slams Kejriwal

Former Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal has hit out at Kejriwal for insulting the farmers’ struggle with “cheap theatrics by tearing copies of the farm laws” when he was among the first to notify them in the country.

In a statement, Harsimrat said the Delhi chief minister was known as a “dramebaaz” but this time he had indulged in unparalleled hypocrisy by tearing the same laws in the Vidhan Sabha which he had notified on November 23.

Whom are you trying to fool Delhi CM @ArvindKejriwal? Have mercy on the #farmers sitting in biting cold on your doorstep. Don’t insult them by being the 1st to notify the hated #FarmLaws & now tearing their copies in the Vidhan Sabha for cheap publicity. A truly shameful act! pic.twitter.com/DXDOIFRYmd

— Harsimrat Kaur Badal (@HarsimratBadal_) December 17, 2020

BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi also slammed Kejriwal for the action, calling him a “new chameleon”. She said: “The Centre’s three farm laws were notified in Delhi Gazette on November 23. Now, they are tearing copies of the same act in Delhi Assembly after notifying. This is opportunistic politics. He (Arvind Kejriwal) is a new chameleon, he can just change colours without qualms.” 

PM to address MP farmers

According to a statement by chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Friday virtually address farmers in Madhya Pradesh. The programme will begin at 2pm via video conferencing.
