New Delhi: Terming the ongoing farmers’ protest as a ‘violent movement’, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), an affiliate of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has said that it’s the farmers who suffer when a “political movement” is furthered in their name.
The farmers’ outfit maintained that it has been ‘continuously fighting to demand remunerative prices for the produce of farmers based on their cost’.
“BKS has been strongly representing the farmers’ concerns by communicating with the government. Wherever we feel the dialogue is not resulting in concrete action we have led agitations too,” said Mohini Mohan Mishra, all India general secretary of the BKS.
Farmers affiliated with nearly 150 farmers’ unions from around the country have given out a call to reach Delhi to put pressure on the government to agree to their demands, which include a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) and implementation of the recommendations made in the Swaminathan Committee report.
