Ahead Of Parliament Session, Farmers Place "People's Whip" Before MPs

Calling it "People's whip", a statement issued by Samyukta Kisan Morcha said it directs Punjab's MPs to raise the demands of farmers -- the scrapping of Centre's three farm laws -- in parliament.

Ahead of parliament's Monsoon Session, farmers' union Sanyukt Kisan Morcha has asked MPs to raise demands of agitating farmers else they will face resistance. Calling it "People's whip", a statement issued by Samyukta Kisan Morcha said it directs Punjab's MPs to raise the demands of farmers -- the scrapping of Centre's three farm laws -- in parliament. They also demand that a new law be enacted that gives a legal guarantee for the payment of Minimum Support Price for all crops across the country. The "People's Whip" also demanded that the MPs do not allow the Houses of Parliament to do any business till the Union Government agrees to meet farmers' demands on the floor of both Houses. "The MPs were also directed not to walk out of the Houses which enables the ruling party to do their business unhindered and even if the MPs are suspended by the Speaker/Chairman of the Houses, they should again go to the Houses to oppose the Union Government," read the statement.
