OG COUCH CORNER HUSTLA
Around 15,000 farmers of the All Indian Kisan Sabha (AIKS), who set out on a protest march from Nashik last week, met a government panel at 2 p.m. on Monday.
Irrigation Minister Girish Mahajan said the government has agreed to their demands. "The government has agreed on 100% demands, including transfer of land title," he said.
The farmers have agreed to withdraw the protest, he said, adding that a special train has been arranged for them to return home.
The 'kisan rally' which started from Mulund on Saturday night, reached Mumbai on Sunday. The farmers decided to march at night in order to avoid causing inconvenience to public.
The farmers intended to gherao the Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai on Monday and voice their demands, which include a complete farm loan waiver, implementation of the recommendations of the M.S. Swaminathan Commission, providing forest rights and better compensation for land acquired by the government.
The Maharashtra government on Monday offered a six-month road map to address agrarian distress, bowing to the demands of aggrieved farmers. Fifteen thousand ryots and tribal people, led by the All India Kisan Sabha, had marched on foot nearly 200 km to the State capital, before assembling less than two km from the Vidhan Bhawan. The people from the villages marching to South Mumbai’s Azad Maidan in the early hours of Monday to avoid inconveniencing the average Mumbaikar received a warm reception from their urban peers.
Not a politically-motivated rally: Congress
All India congress committee general secretary Mohan Prakash said, "Since Modi has come to power, the country's farmers have been the worst hit. It’s a double whammy in Maharashtra since there is a BJP government here as well. Farmers products prices have crashed but their raw material prices have surged. Rahul Gandhi has been fighting for farmers rights since Bhatta Parsaul and the entire Congress is with you."
Ashok Chavan addresses the media: "Maharashtra has the highest suicide rate. The farmers walked all the way to have their problems resolved by the government and not just to talk. This is not a politically motivated rally but a real issue. I appeal to the government to take this seriously.”
Farmer delegation reaches Assembly
Eight member delegation of farmer leaders reaches Assembly to hold talks with the government.
