If Govt is ready to make amendments; it doesn't mean there is any problem in farm laws: Tomar
New Delhi, February 5, 2021: Commenting on the ongoing deadlock between government and farmers over farm bills, Union minister for Agriculture Narendra Singh Tomar said if though the central government is ready to talks and make amendments, it does not suggest that there is some problem with farm bills.
While talking about the investment made by the government to expand the Agriculture sector in Rajya Sabha on Friday, the minister also pointed that people in a particular state are misinformed.
“I made it clear that if Govt is ready to make amendments, it doesn't mean there is any problem in farm laws. People in a particular state are misinformed,” he said
Pertinently, majority of the farmers holding dharna at Delhi borders belong to Punjab state.
Tomar further said that the farmers are being misled that they will lose their land is farm laws are implemented.
“Farmers are being misled that others would occupy their land if these laws are implemented. Let me know if there is a single provision in Contract Farming law which allows any trader to snatch away the land of any farmer,” Union Agriculture Minister NS Tomar.
