Haryana Farmers Demand MSP Guarantee in Crucial Meeting

A delegation of Haryana farmers met state government officials to discuss demands, including a legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP) for crops. Despite the repeal of three controversial farm laws, the issue of MSP remains unresolved. Other farmer issues, such as land and fertilisers, were also discussed.

A delegation of farmers from Haryana met state government representatives here on Sunday to discuss their various demands, including a legal guarantee on the minimum support price (MSP) for crops.

'We gave a list of demands to the government officials. Our main demands are a legal guarantee on the MSP. The central government took back three contentious farm laws but did not give a legal guarantee on the MSP. So this issue is pending,’ said a farmer leader involved in the meeting.

He stated that there are several other issues pertaining to farmers, including those related to land and fertilizers.

Rajesh Khullar, chief principal secretary to the chief minister, and other officials were present at the meeting. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leaders Rattan Mann, Joginder Nain, Balbir Singh, and other farmer leaders from the state attended the meeting.
