Slams Centre’s move to abolish IPAB
DMK president M.K. Stalin on Saturday termed the Centre’s announcement that there would be no increase in fertilizer prices as mere eyewash. He also strongly condemned the move to abolish the Chennai-headquartered Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB). In a statement, he alleged that the fertilizer prices would be increased after the West Bengal Assembly election. Mr. Stalin pointed out that the Centre had announced a cut in the small savings interest rate and later rolled it back. By stating that there not be any increase in fertilizer prices now, the Centre was playing hide-and-seek with the livelihoods of farmers, he alleged.More Related News
