Farmers’ future under threat from new laws: Sachin Pilot

Jaipur, Feb 9 : In a major show of strength, former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Tuesday addressed farmers at a massive mahapanchayat organised in the state’s Bharatpur district to protest against the three farm laws.
At the mahapanchayat at Fateh Sagar in Bharatpur’s Bayana, Pilot said that the future of farmers is being threatened by the government for a few industrialists.
“The Central government will have to withdraw these agricultural laws as otherwise farmers will suffer huge losses. The innocent farmers are protesting on the streets of Delhi in the cold, but the Central government is indifferent… it is torturing them,” he added.
Claiming the laws will destroy both farming and Mandis, Pilot noted that the arrangements made by the Central government to stop the farmers on Delhi’s borders are not even seen at the India-Pakistan border.
In these mahapanchayat attended by farmers from different parts of the district, Pilot was joined by Deeg-Kumher MLA Vishvendra Singh, former minister, Ramesh Meena, Congress MLA in-charge on Bharatpur Ved Prakash Solanki, and many other party leaders and activists.
Addressing the Mahapanchayat, Vishvendra Singh said that they strongly oppose the anti-farmer laws passed by the Centre.
