Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on the Minimum Support Price (MSP) in the Rajya Sabha today, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson Rakesh Tikait said, “They (Centre) are complicating the matter, when did we say that the MSP system is ending, we only want a law on it.”
It has been over two months since the farmers have been protesting at Delhi’s borders against the three farm laws enacted by the Centre. Modi has appealed to the farmers to end the agitation.
The Prime Minister told the Rajya Sabha that the MSP is not going to end and there is an emphasis to modernise the mandi system.
Speaking on the farmers’ agitation, Modi said many things were discussed about the farmers’ movement, but everyone is silent on the main issue of it.
