In it's, 2020 report CACP recommended restricting MSP procurement from #Punjab & #Haryana. This was taken seriously by many; Balbir Singh Rajewal was amongst them; in Feb 2020, we invited MLA's from all Punjab political parties to Kisan Bhawan in Chandigarh, & shared our concerns 
.@sunilkjakhar, then president of Congress; @Sandhwan, current Punjab Assembly Speaker, & many MLA's of Congress, AAP & SAD assured us that they are with the farmers, & will fight tooth & nail against any move by the Center Govt, to curtail MSP procurement from Punjab & Haryana !

Gupta gives reasons why bail should be granted.
1. Both the FIRs contain identical offences.

3. Within a few hours of getting bail in first FIR, I was arrested for the second FIR in a malafide manner

@DrAmbardar @nytimes A huge thank you to Mr Babones for making an effort to investigate the facts behind the "protests" & displace some falsehoods, however, other key points have not featured in this report:
1. The Farm Laws are not a new set of reforms- these have been in debate & consultations 1/n
1. The Farm Laws are not a new set of reforms- these have been in debate & consultations 1/n
@DrAmbardar @nytimes for a number of decades. In fact even Congress included it in their 2019 manifesto. The claim that the Law was rushed through the Parliament is therefore grossly misleading.
2. NOT all the wealthy farmers are protesting the Law - only a miniscule number concentrated in 2/n
2. NOT all the wealthy farmers are protesting the Law - only a miniscule number concentrated in 2/n
@DrAmbardar @nytimes Punjab & Haryana. India has a farmer population of around 150 million & typically only a few thousand attend these protests. That's not even 0.1%
4. Even the protests do not entirely relate to the substance of the Law. It's a well planned act of subversion by Khalistani 3/n

And when he loses Bengal (which I believe he will), @JPNadda will take the blame....

Yes that's right! So why haven't you heard about it?
Well some of you may have, but the likes of @piersmorgan are too busy bashing #HarryandMeghan to cover the biggest protest ever, so good old Neville Southall has stepped in!

Thousands of women joined #farmersprotests on the outskirts of Delhi to mark #IWD2021, demanding the scrapping of new laws that open up agriculture produce markets to private buyers reut.rs/3qrI0yH
Since December, many farmers accompanied by their families have camped at three sites on the outskirts of the Indian capital to oppose the biggest farm reforms in decades, which they say hurt them
Wearing bright yellow scarves representing the colour of mustard fields, the women took center stage at one key site, chanting slogans, holding small marches, and making speeches through loudspeakers to target the laws
Happy #InternationalWomenDay! Today #CFWIJ pays tribute to women journalists around the world, who continue to speak truth to power despite being persecuted through #threats, #harassment, and #imprisonment. #IWDwithCFWIJ

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is struggling to beat back his biggest political challenge in years from #FarmersProtests movement which began with disgruntled farmers traveling to New Delhi on tractors and is now gaining wider support at home and abroad reut.rs/2NFZn1w
Simmering in makeshift camps housing tens of thousands of farmers since last year, the movement has seen a dramatic growth in recent weeks, getting backing from environmental activists, opposition parties and even A-list Western celebrities
At its heart are three new farm laws passed by the government last September.
The new farm laws allow private retailers to buy farm goods directly from growers, circumventing India’s government-controlled wholesale markets
