Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal while meeting representatives of farmers’ organizations at Chandigarh said that a group of 30-40 farmers having factual knowledge about farm laws should be constituted to spread the awareness among their peer groups in each village.
The Chief Minister said, “Rather than agitating against the farm laws, every farmer should be well versed about the benefits of these laws so that those who are trying to spread misinformation and mislead them, fail to attain their vested interests”.
Sh. Manohar Lal said that the State Government is committed to safeguarding the interest of farmers and farming community and several steps have been taken in this direction.
He also suggested that if needed, training of the farmers to get ample knowledge about these farm laws should be done so that the farmers after getting well versed about these, can further spread awareness about the benefits of these laws and ensure that they are not misled by anyone.
The delegation led by Haryana State leader of Bharatiya Kisan Union Guni Prakash submitted a letter of support to Chief Minister on the farm laws and said that from day one the real farmers are in favour of these legislations, while the so-called farmers have given a political colour to this peaceful movement and the real farmers like us are bearing the brunt. He said, those agitating on Delhi Borders are Political representatives.
General Secretary Bharatiya Kisan Union Udhay Bhan said, “The opposition, especially Congress is playing politics with the lives of the farmers to further their vested political interests.” He said that those who are real farmers are in support of these farm laws. The delegation included farmers from various districts including Kaithal, Yamunanagar, Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal etc.
On this occasion, the delegation also invited Chief Minister to attend a progressive farmers’ programme as Chief Guest that is likely to be held at Kurukshetra.
