Peasant agitators called for a ‘Bharat bandh’ on December 8 and threatened to intensify their agitation, block more roads, occupy toll plazas leading to the national capital if the government did not accept their demands.
Yesterday, their fifth round of talks with the government ended in a stalemate, after which they remained on Delhi’s borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, blocking key routes leading to the national capital.
The three farm laws, enacted in September, are expected to bring “reforms” to the agricultural sector by cutting out middlemen and allowing farmers to sell their products anywhere in the country.
Farmers are concerned that these laws will remove the Minimum Livelihood Price (MSP) safety net and remove the mandi that guarantee profits. But the government says the MSP system will continue and the new laws will give farmers more options to sell their crops.
