Right from the time when Mr Rajeev Gandhi tried revolutionizing the telecom sector and opening up of the economy, India heard almost similar kind of voices from opposition; India is being sold to capitalists, India’s integrity will be endangered, Govt is once again inviting East India Company ,The Govt is anti poor and so on.
In 90s when Narsimharao and his Finance Minister Dr MM Singh started the economic reforms process, the opposition led by Vajpayee once again made the same charges.
The only difference now is earlier BJP was accusing the Govt and now BJP is being accused, rest is same, and the accusations are same.
In last two decades more than a lac farmers have committed suicide, pick up any journal and enquire what did the experts and farmers want, one would notice that almost every expert had criticized the Mandi act and wanted to do away with them and every expert talked of freeing the shackles of marginal and poor farmers.
The farmers themselves, who are protesting now demanded that they be unshackled and allowed to sell anywhere.
So any observer would feel why these farmers are protesting when the three laws are an attempt to unshackle and free them from the clutches of middlemen and empower them.
Sticking to just one demand of repealing the laws, brings us to a point that ;
Does that mean everything was hunky dory before the laws came in? or Are these farm laws so bad that they will not be freed?
In that case, Tikait and his associates who are supporting the Bharat Bandh, need to answer to the countrymen ;
Why were the farmers committing suicide, all these years?
Why are Indian farmers suffering from poverty and what needs to be done to enhance the income of poor and marginal farmers?
All these farmer associations going on strike on 27th need to answer these two basic questions.
As a citizen of the country, who wants every Indian, including the farmers to grow and prosper, we may accept that the Govt laws are awful and they may not help the farmers but then for God’s sake, Mr Tikait please come out with your Plan ;
What should be done to Help the farmers? Do these people indulging in Hooliganism for last many months have a plan at all ?
It appears as of now ; THEY HAVE NO PLAN to help the farmers cause except indulging in Hooliganism.
