JAMMU, Sept 27: J&K Pradesh Youth Congress staged a protest against the farm bills passed in the Parliament by BJP led Government, at Miran Sahib, here today.
Dosens of farmers and Youth Congress leaders marked their presence and raised slogans against the Central Government. They termed the farmers’ laws as black laws for entire community. The protest was led by J&K Pradesh Youth Congress secretaries Ankush Raina, Arjun Sharma and Nakul Sharma.
While showing resentment over the bills, Ankush Raina said that these laws are going to cause the collapse of the system of selling farm products in market yards. “These Acts will mean complete withdrawal of the Government from procurement and put farmers at the mercy of corporate companies. It is aimed to facilitate profiteering by big players like Adani Wilmar, Reliance, Walmart, Birla, ITC etc,” he added.
Arjun Sharma said that these anti-farmer bills are intended to finish off the APMC Mandis, Government’s role in procurement at MSP, allow corporate the freedom for hoarding, black-marketing and promote contract farming by corporate agribusinesses.
