Congress slams Modi Govt on Farmer Bills, terms it assault on their income

Jammu, Sept 24 (UNI) Congress National Spokesperson Pawan Khera on Thursday said that three anti- farmers bills passed by the BJP Government would adversely affect the interests of 62 crores farmers and farm labours by destroying the Agriculture Produce Market System (APMC), thereby the farmers would neither get the minimum support price (MSP) not he would get the market rate of his produce.
Mr Khera while addressing a Press Conference here along with PCC President Ghulam Ahmed Mir said that as a consequence of the three laws passed by the BJP Government by passing the parliamentary traditions and the genuine objections of the Congress and other opposition would have disastrous consequences as a result of which the 86 percent of the small and marginal farmers having less than 5 acres of land would be relegated from the possession of owner to a contract labour under the new regime.
He said that BJP ruled Bihar State is the class example of this system wherein 2006, the APMC Act was abolished resulting into worst situation of the farmers, whose produce are purchased on cheaper rates by the middlemen and soled in other states at MSP rates after earning profits.
