Bhartiya Kisan Sangh to hold dharnas at district headquarters for new law
The current minimum support price (MSP) system is a sham which benefits farmers only in the two States of Punjab and Haryana, said general secretary Badrinarayan Chaudhary on Tuesday. The RSS-affiliated farmers union announced that it will hold a symbolic dharna in 500 district headquarter towns on Wednesday, to demand that a law be enacted to guarantee remunerative prices to all farmers, with such prices set according to different agro-climatic zones. The BKS, however, said it would not ally with the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), a platform for unions protesting against the three farm reform laws, which is also calling for a law to guarantee MSP for all farm produce. Although the BKS said the SKM was responsible for politicising the protest, it also blamed the BJP-led government for its role in prolonging the agitation.More Related News
