KEJRIWAL CALLS 3 NEW FARM LAWS ‘DEATH WARRANT’

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, in a meeting with farmer leaders, on Sunday said that the three farm laws are a “death warrant” to the farmers.

Kejriwal had invited farmer leaders from Western Uttar Pradesh for lunch at the Delhi Assembly.

“The three antifarmer laws are death warrant to the farmers. If these laws are implemented then the agriculture of India will go into the hands of some industrialists and the farmers will be devastated,” the CM said. He added that if these laws are implemented, the farmers will become labourers in their own land.

He demanded that the Centre immediately withdraw all the three “black laws” and the legal guarantee of MSP be granted to all the 23 crops.

The meeting was attended by over 40 farmer leaders from western UP. Farmer leader Rohit Jakhar of Rashtriya Jat Mahasangh said that while the UP government cut electricity and water supply at the Ghazipur protest site, Kejriwal’‘s government supported farmers’‘ protest by providing them water and toilets. higher authorities. The agreement on the next steps of disengagement will be finalised after that. We expect disengagement at the remaining friction points to proceed smoothly as it did in the main trouble area (Pangong Tso heights),” an official said on Saturday.

The India-china border standoff in the sensitive Ladakh sector began last May and saw both sides deploy 50,000 troops each in the theatre along with advanced weaponry.

PLA’S deployments in Depsang have hindered access of Indian soldiers to routes including the ones leading to Patrolling Points (PP) 10, 11, 11-A, 12 and 13, as previously reported by Hindustan Times.

The Indian Army’s patrolling activity has also been affected in Gogra and Hot Springs, where rival troops are forward deployed and where skeletal disengagement took place last year, but the gains could not be consolidated.

The Pangong disengagement took place on strategic heights on both banks of the lake, and saw the two armies pull back their frontline troops, tanks, infantry combat vehicles (ICVS) and artillery guns under an agreement reached earlier this month.

The disengagement began on February 10.
