Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced that the union government has decided to repeal the three farm laws

After almost a year-long protests against them, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced the government will repeal the three agricultural reform laws enacted last year. Modi said a section of farmers remained unconvinced about the benefits of the laws, prompting the government to take such a decision. Here is what the demands of the protesting farmers were:

Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh, camped at Delhi border points since November 26 last year, demanding repeal of the laws. They sought the guaranteed Minimum Support Price (MSP) to ensure procurement of crops at a suitable price

👉 The farmers were also demanding written assurance for the continuation of MSP and conventional food grain procurement system

MSP இன் தொடர்ச்சிக்கு எழுத்து மூல உத்தரவாதம் வழங்கு! 

👉 They have sought MSP as recommended by the Swaminathan Commission. The panel said the government should raise MSP to at least 50% more than the weighted average cost of production

MSP ஐ உற்பத்திச்செலவின் 50 வீதத்தால் உயர்த்து!

👉 The farmers’ organisations want the Mandi System to be protected

உள்ளூர் சந்தை முறைக்கு பாதுகாப்பளி! 

👉  They also demanded the withdrawal of Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2020 as they feel that they would not get free electricity due to it

மின்சார திருத்த மசோதா 2020 ஐ திரும்பப் பெறு! 

👉 The farmers also demanded an end to the fines and jail sentences imposed for stubble burning

வைக்கோல்  தீவைப்புக்கான  பணத் தண்ட , சிறையை நிறுத்து!
