How long will the farmer movement last? |
December 13 2020 |
The zeal and passion of the Annadata during the ongoing farmer protest, has made sure that the ruling party listens to them, and as a two-way communication has been formed, so both the farmer and the government are listening to each other. The government hopes that someday farmers will agree because the government is ready to accept 12 out of 15 demands of the farmers, an amendment bill can also be brought for this, but the farmers want this agriculture bill to be rolled back. On the other hand, the government wants to indicate that neither did the agitators win nor did the government lose. Leaders like Rakesh Tikait are working as a dialogue bridge between the government and the farmer, and therefore he tweeted on Friday that both farmers and the government should back off a little. However, the primary organization of the agitation – All India Kissan Sangharsh Samanvay Samiti – in short, the Coordination Committee, does not agree with Tikait’s opinion. Unfortunately, three big farmers’ leaders, Dr. Sunilamay, Raju Shetty, and VM Singh Corona were tested Corona positive. Therefore, media-friendly leaders like Tikait and Yogendra Yadav are gathering all the attention, however, the influx of farmers from the villages of remote Punjab, Bihar, UPA, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana has remained constant. Top industrialists like Adani and Ambani also remain at the center of the resentment of the farmers. Farmers have questions that the Agricultural Law was passed in Parliament in 2020, but in 2018, Adani created 12 companies and many silos where food grains are stored. Now, farmers ask if these industrialists knew beforehand that these agriculture laws were coming up? FCI’s godowns have already been taken on lease by Adani and how a section of media is propagating that this movement of farmers has the support of extremist leaders. Moreover, few union ministers are two steps ahead and have claimed that the farmers’ movement is getting help from China and Pakistan. |
