'No Farmer Died in Police Action During Protests': Union Govt on Compensation Question

-TheWire.in

The family of Navreet Singh had claimed that he had died in police firing and rejected the claim that his tractor had overturned on January 26.

New Delhi: The Union government on Friday, December 10, said “no farmer died due to police action” during the year-long protests against the farm laws.

The movement at Delhi borders was suspended by the umbrella body of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Thursday, after the Union government gave it in writing that their key pending demands would be honoured, including the withdrawal of police cases against the protesters and a committee to legalise a Minimum Support Price guarantee.

In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Friday said, “The subject of compensation, etc. to the families of the deceased farmers in the farmers movement is with the concerned state governments”.

“No farmer died as a result of police action during the farmers’ agitation,” he said. The Union government, in June, had claimed in parliament that it had no data on farmers’ deaths during the protests.

Tomar was responding to a joint question by Congress leader Dhiraj Prasad Sahu and AAP leader Sanjay Singh.
