AGARTALA, Oct 14 (TIWN): All India Krishak Khet Majdoor Sangathan placed deputation to Tripura Agriculture Director against Farmers' Bill 2020.

Issue : Ignoring the two long-standing major demands for “debt relief” and “increasing the remunerative price of crops by at least 50%” by the toiling peasants across the country as well as taking no concrete step to bring down the prices of agricultural inputs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and diesel (used for running shallow pumps), the BJP-led central government, taking advantage of the distressed situation due to rapid transmission of Covid 19 and the lockdown induced by it,  issued three brazenly anti-peasant ordinances on 5 June and subsequently hurriedly legalized those by orchestrating passage in both houses of the parliament through voice vote. These new enactments have ensured absolute dominance of the domestic and foreign monopoly houses on the entire agricultural sector of the country which would entail total ruination of the peasants, especially small,marginal and medium peasants as also the agricultural labourers. 

Seeking withdrawal of the Farmers Bill, this deputation has been placed.
