BJP-led Govt Should Respect and Fulfill the Reasonable Demands of Farmers across the Indian Union – #Seeman_Insists!!!

bit.ly/2Jb9FEJ

Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, who have been marching towards Delhi demanding either - 1/14

to repeal the Centre’s three recent farm legislations or guarantee Minimum Selling Price for crops by passing a new law. Almost 500 different farmer organizations have joined hands against the anti-farmer legislations passed by the tyrannical BJP-led regime; Further, - 2/14

farmers from Kerala and Uttarakhand have also been marching towards Delhi for the same cause.

In the month of September, three farm bills have been tabled and later legislated against huge opposition in the parliament: the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020, the - 3/14

Farmers’ (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020. All three are interrelated. These acts refer to the core of agriculture on the production - 4/114

of crops, the purchase of produce, and the storage of what is purchased.

These acts allow corporates to put pressure on farmers to produce for export demands of the world market and produce value-added products for the Indian market that will raise question over ability - 5/14

to meet the country's food needs. Everything from what a farmer has to grow, till the method of cultivation he/she should adopt will now be decided by the corporates. As a result, farmers, who had no right to set prices, could no longer decide anything. In this way, the - 6/14

farmers will be deprived of even the minimum subsistence they have.

The people of Indian Union on the whole have been affected by COVID-19. Yes, Indirectly! The BJP-led Centre has utilized the COVID-19 crisis to pass on laws that are anti-people and that will divide its - 7/14

own people in the name of religion, social status and what not. The Centre has not even spared the environment, without which the life does not go on. The recent draft Environment Impact Assessment Bill, Projects like laying Optical Cable Fiber in Western Ghats and more - 8/14

a few examples. The BJP-led Centre has targeted each and every sector: The disastrous “National Education Policy (NEP)” for the Education sector; Destroyer of rural medico dreams “NEET” for the Health sector; etc.

The latest addition to the anti-people measure is the- 9/14

introduction of three farm legislations that are against the Agricultural sector. Since its introduction, there have been massive, widespread opposition from various spheres including farmers, activists, political parties, and various farmers’ organization across the - 10/14

Union. History will never forgive the disgraceful act of the ruling BJP government in the midst of legitimizing the tyranny of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to market the food market of 130 Crore people and open it up to the convenience of corporates.

As warned on - 11/14

behalf of the Naam Tamilar Katchi in its statement dated 23/09/2020, a people's revolution against state terrorism has erupted as the ruling BJP government seeks to implement these bills in spite of the nationwide protests and the sentiments of the agrarian masses - 12/14

This people’s revolution has gained momentum and had reached to level that the cornered Centre has no option and was forced to hold talks with the farmers.

On behalf of the Naam Tamilar Katchi, I request the BJP Government to heed to the farmers demands and act - 13/14

accordingly rather trying to indulge in dissembling this people’s revolution. In case, if that does not happen, this people’s revolution will turn into an even more massive one in a way the whole world has never witnessed - 14/14
