The farmers on Monday (February 19) rejected the government’s proposal to purchase five crops at minimum support price (MSP) over the period of next five years and said that “it is not in favour of farmers”. They said that the farmers will resume their ‘Dilli Chalo’ march to the national capital from the Punjab-Haryana Shambhu border starting February 21.
“After the discussion of both forums, it has been decided that if you analyse, there is nothing in the government’s proposal…This is not on the favour of farmers. We reject it,” farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal said.
