Union minister Nitin Gadkari has said the three new laws introduced by the Centre were good for farmers but confusion was being spread about them. Addressing to a news channel, the Nagpur Lok Sabha MP said farmers would not protest if they studied the new agri- marketing laws and understood them.
Gadkari said that the laws are in the interest of farmers. However, confusion is being spread among farmers with political intentions. He wants to appeal to political parties and their leaders to discuss what farmers are gaining and what they will lose.
Speaking on the issues being faced by the farmers and their agitation, the Union Minister said, "the Central government is ready to resolve all their issues, however, the farm leaders are being misguided." "The laws are in the interest of farmers. However, confusion is being spread among farmers with political motives. I want to appeal to political parties and their leaders to discuss what farmers are gaining and what they will lose," Gadkari said.
The three laws at the centre of the protests are the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce Act, 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
