Centre's erudition began to fade in front of farmers' understanding

The ongoing struggle of the farmers in Delhi is moving towards a victorious stage. During a meeting between the farmers' leaders and the government, the government was ready to acknowledge the shortcomings in the farm laws.

Agriculture Minister Tomar acknowledged the farmers' suspicions and assured that they would be allayed. However, the farmers have been adamant in their demand for repeal of the Agriculture Act.

According to farmers' leaders, they have asked the government to repeal the farm laws first and if any law is to be enacted later, it should be enacted on the advice of the farmers. According to some farmer leaders, the government wants to play a game with the farmers.

The intention of the government is to cut off the supply line behind the farmers sitting on the dharna and disperse the farmers sitting here with the force of sticks, while the farmers will not allow any of the government's plans to succeed.

According to a farmer leader present at the meeting, during the three hours of the meeting, both the parties took sides. During the meeting, the government side had to face great difficulties in answering the doubts and questions raised by the leaders. The government side was overwhelmed by the suspicions raised by the farmers' organizations.

According to some media reports, Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar even said that corporate houses would be upset if he listened to the farmers.

This change in the attitude of the government is being hailed as a major victory. The government has so far focused on justifying the farm laws and is now adamant on rectifying the shortcomings.

On the other hand, the farmers' organizations have demanded the repeal of the agriculture laws and the implementation of the Swaminathan report including the legal guarantee of MSP, procurement of wheat and paddy and other crops at MSP. The farmers’ leaders demanded the government to implement all these concessions uniformly for the farmers across the country.

If the government easily accepts the demands of the farmers, the rest of the decisions taken and to be taken by the government will be called into question.

Many decisions have been taken by the government in which public opinion has been ignored. The government itself seems to be falling into its own trap. The mess with the farmers is beginning to weigh heavily on the government.

That is why the government now wants to get rid of it by amending the farm laws, while the oppressed farmers are not ready to go back without any firm confidence.
