The #Agristack project will include farmers':

We submitted our comments before the deadline, & filed an RTI to get the responses on record. IFF found that although the joint statement was recorded, individual responses (including those by the #AllIndiaKisanSabha) were not. This goes against all democratic processes! 4/n 
The PLCP cannot be a formality! Policymakers must genuinely listen to feedback, instead of carrying out a consultation to “tick off the checklist”.
If this starts happening, this policy will be a sham and India’s democratic law-making process will be severely impacted. 5/n
