Farmers adamant on scrapping of 3 farm laws as parleys continue

As the fifth round of parleys between the government and farmer leaders were underway here on Saturday afternoon, several representatives of farmers said they wanted only the repeal of the three new farm laws.

Talking to IANS, they also warned of intensifying their ongoing 10-day protest on the Delhi’s interstate borders at the national level if their demands were not met.

While the government was agreeable to amendments to The Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020, farmers are pushing for the scrapping of the “anti-farmer” laws.

Kirpa Singh Natthuwala, President of Kisan Bachao Morcha from Punjab, told IANS that the farmers “don’t come up with a new agenda everyday”. “Our first and only agenda is to get abolished the three farm laws.”
