Farmers propose Bills on loan waiver, fair prices in their own ‘parliament’

On the second day of a protest organised by the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC), farmers from more than 180 farmer organisations across the country proposed a bill each on debt waiver and fair prices for crops. For two days, thousands of farmers had gathered at Sansad Marg to participate in Kisan Mukti Sansad, a mock parliament. Raju Shetty, MP and president of Swabhimani Shetkaari Sangathan said that the bills will be presented in the parliament after taking feedback from all stakeholders. The Kisan Mukti Sansad began soon after a journey of more than 10,000 km was completed by AIKSCC in 19 states.
