Capt: Conspiracy to destroy farmers

September 16, 2020 By News Bureau

Share

Terming the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, which was passed in the Lok Sabha today, a direct and deliberate assault by the Centre on the interests of farmers, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh has said the state Congress will challenge it in the court of law.

Asserting he will not allow the interests of the farmers to be compromised, the CM said the enactment of the legislation was clearly a step towards abolition of the minimum support price (MSP) regime. “It is a conspiracy on part of the BJP-led NDA government (of which the SAD is a constituent) to destroy Punjab and its farmers,” he said, declaring the Congress would fight the attack on the state’s interests tooth and nail.

“The legislation talks of encouraging competition among farmers. Do they really expect the poor farmers, who are only competing with themselves for survival every day, to rival big corporates for protecting their interests?” said the CM.

Noting that the enactment, along with the other two farm Bills that the Centre had tabled in the Lok Sabha, was in line with the recommendations of the Shanta Kumar committee, he pointed out the same committee had also suggested dismantling of the MSP regime. It was evident the Centre was moving towards the elimination of the MSP system, he said.

The Akal Takht Jathedar: Despite indefinite term why none has lasted beyond a few years?

May 15, 2023 By Guest Author

Kamaldeep Singh Brar The Akal Takth There’s no fixed term for the Jathedar (custodian) of the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat in Sikhism. That means an Akal Takht Jathedar can continue to occupy the seat all his life. Yet, no Akal Takht Jathedar in recent memory has lasted the crown of thorns for more […]
