Show us provision which says farmers won’t get MSP, SC asks MP Prathapan

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Thursday challenged Congress MP from Kerala, T.N. Prathapan, to pick out the specific provision in the new agriculture laws which says farmers will not get Minimum Support Price for their products. A three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice Sharad A. Bobde questioned the MP after the latter’s lawyer submitted that “without MSP, farmers cannot survive”. Mr. Prathapan, in his petition, said the law opens the door for “corporate greed of multi-national companies” to trample on agriculture market. “Without the APMC acting as a protective shield around the farmers, the market would ultimately fall to the corporate greed of multinational companies who are more profit oriented and have no care for the conditions of the poverty stricken farmers who are dependent on farming for their livelihood,” the petition said.
