Varanasi: Amid the protests across Delhi-NCR from the past few days against the new agricultural reforms, PM Narendra Modi on Monday (November 30, 2020) said that these laws have given farmers new options and legal protection.
“New agricultural reforms have given farmers new options and new legal protection. Earlier, transactions outside the market were illegal. Now the small farmer can also take legal action on every deal that is out of the market. The farmer has now got new options and legal protection from fraud,” said PM Modi during a visit to his parliamentary constituency Varanasi.
नए कृषि सुधारों से किसानों को नए विकल्प और नए कानूनी संरक्षण दिए गए हैं।
पहले मंडी के बाहर हुए लेनदेन ही गैरकानूनी थे।
अब छोटा किसान भी, मंडी से बाहर हुए हर सौदे को लेकर कानूनी कार्यवाही कर सकता है।
किसान को अब नए विकल्प भी मिले हैं और धोखे से कानूनी संरक्षण भी मिला है: PM

PM Modi said that the farmers are being empowered by giving them options for a bigger market and reforms are being done in the interest of farmers, which will give them more options.
The Prime Minister stated that India’s agricultural products are famous all over the world and asked, “Shouldn’t a farmer get the freedom to sell his produce directly to those who give them better prices and facilities.”
भारत के कृषि उत्पाद पूरी दुनिया में मशहूर हैं।
क्या किसान की इस बड़े मार्केट और ज्यादा दाम तक पहुंच नहीं होनी चाहिए?
अगर कोई पुराने सिस्टम से ही लेनदेन ही ठीक समझता है तो, उस पर भी कहां रोक लगाई गई है?: PM

He said that the promise of giving 1.5 times more MSP to farmers as per Swaminathan Commission was fulfilled and that this promise was not only fulfilled on paper but has reached the bank account of the farmers.
हमने वादा किया था कि स्नामीनाथन आयोग की सिफारिश के अनुकूल लागत का डेढ़ गुणा MSP देंगे।
ये वादा सिर्फ कागज़ों पर ही पूरा नहीं किया गया, बल्कि किसानों के बैंक खाते तक पहुंचाया है: PM

“Governments make policies, make laws and regulations. If policies and laws are supported, then some questions are also natural. It is a part of a democracy,” said PM Modi.
PM Modi’s comments came following the ongoing protests against these three new laws – The Farmers` Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
