JAMMU, Jan 6: The J&K National Panthers Party has declared to support farmers’ strike going on in the country.
“Despite chilling cold having swept the entire north India, it is a sad irony that thousands and lakhs of farmers are made to sit out in the open demanding that their fears on farm laws be assuaged. Its cruel on the part of the Govt to dishonour the demands of these proud farmers who are not asking for any material relief but to continue farming and selling their produce the way their parents and they have been doing for years,” NPP chairman Harshdev Singh said.
“Its unfortunate that the Govt is thrusting its own stand and views upon the farmers without caring for their sentiments. Several precious lives have been lost during the protests. The Govt claims that new farms laws will revolutionize agriculture sector and make farmers prosperous which however has not gone well with the striking class of farmers. They have their own apprehensions which the govt has failed to address. It has failed to win over the confidence of the farmers who are feeling cheated and betrayed,” Singh added.
