JAMMU, Sept 30: District Congress Committee (DCC) Jammu Rural in a protest demonstration at Dumi in Domana Constituency resented the passing of three Farm Bills and claimed that BJP led government at Centre will give freedom to corporates to exploit farmers and take away the protection that Minimum Support Price provides.
The protest was arranged by Jung Bahadur Sharma, Working Block President Bhalwal and was attended by Hari Singh Chib, President DCC Jammu Rural, Uday Bhanu Chib, President IYC J&K, Rana Partap Singh, Sarpanch Gharota, Kulbushan Singh, Baber Ali, General Secretary Youth Congress Jammu Rural and Sunny Jatt, President Youth Congress Raipur Domana.
Addressing protesters, Hari Singh termed the passing of Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 and Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 as deadly attack on farmers and agricultural labourers.
He lambasted BJP led government at Centre for failure to double farmers’ income and said rather the current regime is hell-bent to snatch the existing source of livelihood from farmers.
Uday Chib said Modi government has badly failed to fulfill its promises made to the farmers of the nation.
He said that Farm Bills are not acceptable and the government must declare in writing the MSP of farmers’ produce before handing it over to corporate houses.
Jung Bahadur Sharma, Congress Working Block President Bhalwal said the already suffering farmers in J&K have been pushed to more devastation by anti-farmers bills.
Among those present in the protest were Dev Raj, Virender Mehta, Kamal Singh, Pritam Singh, Anil Sharma, Parshotam Singh, Naib Sarpach and Panches of Dumi and farmers of that area.
