PK Joshi, Anil Ghanwat and Ashok Gulati are members of the Supreme Court-appointed farm panel.
Anil Ghanwat, a member of the SC-appointed committee on three agricultural laws, said on Monday that India will face a crisis if MSP is enacted into law.
Ghanwat said, “The government and farmer leaders should think of some other way. MSP is not a solution. It will not only harm the farmers, but also the traders and stockists.”
SC committee member Anil Ghanwat’s remarks come in the wake of demand from the Center for legislation on Minimum Support Price (MSP) on agricultural procurement after PM Modi announced the repeal of three agriculture laws on November 19.
The farmers are saying that they will not end their agitation until a law on MSP is made and talks are started to discuss other imminent issues.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court-appointed committee on the issue of three controversial agriculture laws held a meeting today and said they would hold a press conference tomorrow (November 23) to announce the fate of the report submitted in March.
Anil Ghanawat, leader of Shetkari Sangathan of Maharashtra, who reached Delhi in the morning, held a meeting with another member of the panel, agricultural economist Ashok Gulati.
Apart from the three-member committee – Ghanawat and Gulati, the Supreme Court had appointed third member PK Joshi in January this year while staying three agricultural laws. The committee submitted the report in March after extensive multi-stakeholder consultations.
However, since then the apex court has neither used any of its recommendations nor made the report public.
Ghanawat, in September, wrote to the then Chief Justice of India to issue the report so that its recommendations could be used by the government to resolve the farmers’ agitation, which has been widely disturbed as well as violence in some places. they were finished. The government held several rounds of talks with the farmers, but no side arose.
Finally, on Friday, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the repeal of three agricultural laws in the upcoming winter session, Ghanawat called the decision “unfortunate”. Gulati had a guarded response to wait for the committee to be announced by the Prime Minister for a comprehensive consultation.
Arora was referring to Modi’s announcement of setting up a committee comprising representatives from the Centre, state governments, farmers, agricultural scientists and agricultural economists to discuss how to make the Minimum Support Price (MSP) more effective. How zero budget farming can be promoted and how cropping patterns can be changed in a scientific way.
