Govt. must reach out to agitating farmers, says Jayant Chaudhary
In a fervent appeal to the Prime Minister to end the deadlock on the farm laws, Rashtriya Lok Dal president Jayant Chaudhary said on Thursday that “policy measures can only be termed as reforms only if they satisfy the larger social good.” Reminding the PM of his statement that he was just a phone call away from the protesting farmers, Mr. Chaudhary said it was only the government and elected representatives that were expected to reach out in a structured manner to the farmers. “It pains the nation that even after your statement, the government appears to have further withdrawn from engaging with the farmer organisations even as the farmers are waiting at Delhi’s borders,” Mr. Chaudhary said in a letter to the PM, written on the eve of the completion of six months of farmers’ protests against the farm laws.More Related News
