Demanding a uniform guideline for acquisition of their land, a farmers' convention on Sunday accused the government of failing in providing an appropriate policy to get peasants out of debt-trap.

"It is the government which is responsible for suicides by farmers due to debt... successive governments have miserably failed in framing a proper policy to favour peasants," All India Kisan Coordination Committee chief and former MP Bhupinder Singh Mann said at a convention of farmers from around 17 states here.

He claimed that the burden of "unfair loans" has become unbearable for farmers. "The prices of agricultural produce has been kept low by government deliberately."

The convention also lashed out at the policy of land acquisition of government. "There is no proper policy of land acquisition and the government purchase farmers' land at a price decided by it keeping its interest," Mann, joined by former MP and leader Sharad Joshi, said.

They demanded that there should be one national policy for acquisition of land of farmers. "The policy should be such that farmers get the maximum benefit in case of acquisition of their land by government," Joshi said.

They also objected to the payments of farm produce through commission agents. "The farmers should be made payments directly for their produce," Mann said.

The farm leaders decided to hold the next convention in Kerala soon to chalk out a strategy.
