PM’s I-Day speech out of touch with ground, say protesting farmers

The Hindu  

Even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed the need to transform the agricultural sector on Thursday at the flag-hoisting event at Red Fort, protesting farmers at the Shambhu border said their demands have remained unheard. ‘False assurances’ Farmers from Punjab and Haryana, who have stayed put at Shambhu border over six months after they began blocking roads as part of their protest, said speeches matter little when compared with ground realities. Jagjeet Dallewal, president of Bharatiya Kisan Union Ekta Sidhupur, said, “We heard farmers were special invitees, but why has nobody come to talk to us at a time when we are protesting for basic needs?” “The Prime Minister can make tall claims, but on the ground, it is not the farmers who are benefitting, but the capitalists. Their protest, which began in February this year over various demands, including a legal assurance for minimum support price on crops, had led the Supreme Court to observe that the government must try to solve the “trust deficit” with the farmers by “reaching out” to them.
