My heart goes with farmers on R Day
My heart goes with farmers on R Day
Asserting that his heart was with the farmers amid the Republic Day celebrations, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said the Centre had deliberately kept Punjab out of the high-powered committee initially as they knew that the voices of protest would rise from here.
He declared that "these voices will continue to rise" till the farmers' interests are secured.
Punjab was included in the committee only after he personally wrote to the Centre on the issue, said the Chief Minister, making it clear that neither he nor his government were ever asked or consulted about the 'black' farm laws.
Appealing to the Prime Minister to fulfil the demands of the agitating farmers, who are sitting at Delhi's borders for the past two months, the Chief Minister said the farm laws are "completely wrong as they are against federalism since agriculture is a state subject under Schedule 7 of the Indian constitution".
Hoping that the tractor march of the farmers passed off as peacefully as their agitation so far has been, the Chief Minister said: "old farmers are sitting at the borders of the national capital not for themselves but for their children and the future generations".
Declaring that his government was with the farmers, he said, "be peaceful, and the country is with you". He noted that 122 MPs in the UK had spoken in favour of the farmers and other countries had also supported the protests as the farmers had been peaceful all along.
Amarinder Singh lamented that he never thought he would see a day when Punjab's farmers, who had made the nation self-sufficient in food by ushering in the Green Revolution and ensured that India never needed to beg for food under America's PL 480, would be forgotten in this manner.
At one time, Punjab farmers were contributing 50 per cent to the food basket, and even now contribute 40 per cent of the total foodgrains, the Chief Minister said, adding that "we can never forget what they have done for our country".
With production now being carried out also in Ganga, Narmada and Kaveri basins, the farmers of Punjab were being sidelined, said the Chief Minister, adding, "God forbid a day will come that Punjab would be needed by the nation again".
Not once did the Congress, which had been providing MSP, indicated that it would ever be withdrawn or talked about winding up the Food Corporation of India, he said, pointing out that with the public distribution system depending on the government procurement, the poor would also suffer if the new farm laws are not repealed.

Tractors bring protests into Indian capital on Republic Day
Tens of thousands of farmers drove a convoy of tractors into the Indian capital as the nation celebrated Republic Day on Tuesday in the backdrop of agricultural protests that have grown into a rebellion and rattled the government.
The capital’s roads were swarmed by rows upon rows of tractors bearing flags of India and farm unions.
Farmers, wearing distinctive colourful turbans, shouted slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and what they call his “black laws.” Thousands more marched on foot while dancing and singing, and at one place they were showered with flower petals by residents, some of whom recorded the unprecedented rally on their phones.
“We want to show Modi our strength,” said Satpal Singh, a farmer who marched into the capital on a tractor along with his family of five. “We will not surrender.”
Police in riot gear used tear gas and water cannon at two places to push back the protesters who tried to knock down barricades. Authorities also parked large trucks to barricade multiple routes so that farmers don’t march to the interiors of the capital.
