‘BJP shows anti-farmer face again’: Congress on Haryana sunflower farmers’ stir

Hindustan Times  

The Congress on Wednesday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party government has once again displayed its anti-farmer face by ordering a baton charge on the sunflower farmers, who were demanding a minimum support price for their produce, in Haryana’s Kurukshetra district on Tuesday. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Delhi, Congress leader and member of Parliament Deepender Singh Hooda said that 10 farmers were injured and numerous others were detained on Tuesday. Farmers protesting against the Haryana government’s decision not to buy sunflower seeds at the minimum support price, on Tuesday blocked the National Highway-44 near Shahbad in Kurukshetra district, following which the police resorted to baton-charge and sprayed water cannon to clear the blockage. On May 30, the BJP-led Haryana government issued a notice declaring that sunflower seeds and bajra have been included in the list of crops covered under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana, under which ₹1,000 per quintal is provided to farmers for selling their produce to private buyers.
