07 Union viewpoint and Rajewal’s adverse
viewpoint.
about the
agricultural bills.
The issue of minimum support price could be
fatal for Punjab.
...... friends. Now that the January 4 meeting
in Besita has come out, no meaningful outcome is
expected in the near future. Case is
still pending in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The
Supreme Court opened on January 8. The Supreme
Court has sought the government's side. This
case is likely to be taken up immediately. The
farmers have already submitted their case in
the first meeting. The government is also
presenting its case on every date. Documents
from both the parties will be presented in the
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court may dismiss
three or one or two bills. But this is unlikely
for a number of reasons. As for the minimum
support price.
........ friends. The issue of minimum support
price could be fatal for Punjab. Why the Hon'ble
Supreme Court will not decide that the support
price should go to Punjab only. The Supreme
Court will not rule that the support price
should be given only for wheat. The Hon'ble
Supreme Court will not discriminate against any
state. It is likely that the Supreme Court will
not even consider the matter of support price.
If the Supreme Court wants to settle the support
price matter, it will be fatal for Punjab.
Because with the decision to give support price
on all crops, the prices of everything went up
overnight. Which proved to be a disaster for the
workers, poor farmers and small shopkeepers. For
which only the kisan leaders will be guilty.
Because they have been asking for support price
for 32 crops. The government is also awaiting
the decision of the Supreme Court. But Kisan
leaders seem to be appalled by the decision.
Maybe that's why they are not becoming a party.
So let's see what are the points of the farmer
leaders and what are the points of the
government. What will be the decision of the Hon'ble
Supreme Court?
Part 6 Union's side and the government's side.
Farmers say that food production, maintenance is
on the state list of the constitution. The
Center cannot interfere in this.
The government says the grain is with the
Interstate Trade Center. Of course, the state
has wheat and paddy grains, but the center has
the right to flour and rice. The center has the
authority over the essentials. It is important
to promote the grain as it has an interstate
sales center. Therefore, in order to reduce the
cost of transportation, electronic marketing is
essential to bring speed and transparency in
business. One Nation One Market is essential to
promote import and export. .
....... Farmers say that the government has a
bad feeling behind bringing the bill in Corona.
She wants to hand over the food business to
Adani Ambani.
The government says rice is India's main crop.
In order to reap the full benefits of the raft
crop, it has become necessary to enact laws
immediately. Two laws pertaining to electronic
marketing and One Nation One Market. There are
many benefits associated with this.
Farmers' unions say that these laws have been
made by Modi Sahib for the benefit of his
special men.
The government says the law is the product of the Manmohan
Singh government. The Congress manifesto
promises to make these laws. This need has been
felt since 2003. The National Survey was
conducted in 2014-15. According to his report,
these reforms are so necessary that even if the
state does not agree in spite of persuasion, the
Center should exercise its authority to enforce
these laws. The government argues that where the
distribution of rights creates confusion, the
relevant item is included in the concurrent list. The Manmohan Singh
government also held several meetings and
seminars to bring such a bill.
Unions say that Punjab has its own Dedicated
Contract Act 2013 and 2018, the Center has no
right to impose new laws.
The government says Punjab law does not exist
anywhere. The Punjab government could not
enforce the law. It has failed to protect the
farmers. That is why central law is necessary.
The Government identifies the Electronic
Agricultural Market, Unified Market, One Nation
One Market, and Inter State Free Market, Subsidi Less Market as per the requirements
of International Market, World Trade
Organization, Food and Supply of UNO.
While the union says that this law was not
demanded by the farmers, the farmer does not
need it. So these bills are wrong and
unnecessary. The government has accepted the
amendments. Therefore, it has been proven that
the laws are wrong.
The government says that we have asked which
section is wrong. Explain how to modify. But the
leaders of 31 unions could not point out a
single item. Nor could it change any item. That
is why all laws are flawed.
The unions say that millions of farmers have
gathered here. Therefore, the government should
withdraw all the three bills.
The government says the crores that
agree with the bills. This proves that this bill
is accepted by the farmers of India and is
considered beneficial. Farmers have nothing to
do with the Essential Commodities Improvement
Bill. This bill relates to merchants. This is
not a farmer issue, it is a political issue.
In fact, the issue is so complicated that even
the Hon'ble Supreme Court did not consider it
appropriate to take an immediate decision. Left
on arbitration. Due to which the struggle can
last for months and even years. It can also take
the form of internal warfare. Let the people
decide for themselves who is right and who is
wrong.
