Will sensitise people on how farm laws will be beneficial to farmers: Prasad

Union Minister for Law and Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday said they will sensitise people across the nation on how the newly-enacted farm laws will be beneficial to farmers.

Union Minister for Law and Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday said they will sensitise people across the nation on how the newly-enacted farm laws will be beneficial to farmers. "Prominent people who're protesting against farm laws today, are doing it just for the sake of opposing the laws. They themselves earlier recognised the need for these reforms," Prasad said.

Prasad started the campaign from his own Lok Sabha constituency Patna Sahib. "I am proud that we started the talks from Patna Sahib's Bakhtiyarpur," he said. He said the government is with farmers and will work for their empowerment.

Hundreds of farmers have been protesting on the outskirts of Delhi since late November 26 demanding the government to repeal the newly enacted farm laws. However, the government has held six-round of talks with farmers' organisations including the meeting called by Union Home Minister Amit Shah offering changes to the laws and written assurances.
