The United Kisan Morcha has welcomed the decision to withdraw all three agricultural laws. The Kisan Morcha said it would wait for the announcement to take effect through proper parliamentary procedures. The SKM also reminded the Prime Minister that the farmers' movement is not only against the repeal of the three black laws but also for a statutory guarantee of all agricultural products and remunerative prices for all farmers. This important demand of the farmers is still pending. SKM will take note of all developments, hold its meeting soon and announce further decisions.
After Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the withdrawal of three Agriculture Law Bills during his 11th address to the nation, National Spokesperson of Bharatiya Kisan Union Rakesh Tikait said that the Prime Minister has announced the withdrawal of all three laws but to form a committee on Minimum Support Price. And other issues including the electricity amendment are yet to be talked about.
In a conversation, he said that at present, the United Front is negotiating about the announcement of the Prime Minister, the further strategy will be told soon. Rakesh Tikait has said that the agitation will not be withdrawn immediately. We will wait for the day when agricultural laws will be repealed in Parliament. Along with MSP, the government should also discuss other issues of farmers.
In his address to the nation on Friday, PM Narendra Modi announced the withdrawal of all three Agriculture Law Bills. He said that the process of withdrawing these laws would start in the session of Parliament.
My appeal is that the farmers should return to the fields, we are withdrawing the three agriculture law bills: Modi
PM Modi said that while apologizing to the people of the country, I want to say with a sincere heart that our efforts must have been lacking that we could not convince them. Today is the holy festival of light of Guru Nanak. Today I have come to tell you that we have decided to withdraw three agriculture laws. Parliament will start the process of withdrawing all the three agricultural laws in the session beginning later this month. I appeal to the farmers to return to their homes, return to the fields.
We made the crop insurance scheme more effective, brought more farmers under its ambit. Change the old rules so that farmers can get more compensation. Due to this, in the last four years, more than one lakh crore compensation has been received by the farmer brothers. Steps were taken to ensure that the farmers get the right payment for their produce. We increased the MSP as well as created record government centres. The purchases made by our government broke many records. We gave farmers a platform to sell their produce anywhere.
