BJP’s Haryana ally backs farmers’; demands MSP should be made part of act

CHANDIGARH: The BJP’s coalition partner in Haryana Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) on Tuesday said the Centre should have no problem in giving written assurance to protesting farmers on the minimum support price (MSP).

The party’s statement comes as the Centre is going to hold talks with farmer unions over the new agriculture-related laws.

President Ajay Singh Chautala said that Centre should consider demands of farmers. Whatever is acceptable decisions should be implemented to remove tensions of farmers. He said that the Centre should consider making MSP part of new acts.

किसानों की मांगों पर केंद्र करे विचार. जो भी सर्वसम्मत हल हो उसे जल्दी से लागू कर किसानों को परेशानी को दूर किया जाना चाहिए. MSP को एक्ट में शामिल करने पर भी विचार करे केंद्र सरकार.#FarmersProtests pic.twitter.com/hAEmAQ4jHn

Thousands of farmers stayed put at various Delhi border points for the sixth consecutive day on Tuesday protesting against the new farm laws, which they fear will dismantle the minimum support price system and corporatise farming.
