Centre yet to keep promises to farmers on MSP panel, withdrawal of FIRs

The Hindu  

Farm union leaders of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha are due to meet again at the end of this week for the first time since calling off their mass agitation on Delhi’s borders last month. However, the leaders say the government is yet to keep its promises on setting up a committee to look into guaranteed minimum support prices for crops and to withdraw cases filed against farmer protestors in all States, including in the national capital and in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh. But so far, there is no further development on the MSP committee issue from the government’s side,” said Yudhvir Singh, general secretary of the Tikait faction of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, which had constituted the largest chunk of protestors from U.P. It said the committee on MSP which had been announced by the Prime Minister would include SKM leaders and also committed to compensate the kin of those who died during the protests, and withdraw cases filed against protestors. MHA inaction Although the agreement promised that cases filed in all Union Territories and in Delhi would be withdrawn “with immediate effect”, one month later, no action has been taken yet in these regions where police cases come under the jurisdiction of the Union Home Ministry, said Mr. Singh.
