Punjab Excluded From Central Committee on Agriculture, More Representation for Pro-BJP Farmer Leaders Than SKM

-Newsclick.in

SKM leaders Darshan Pal and Yogendra Yadav have outrightly rejected the committee.

The Central government's decision to exclude Punjab institutions and state government representations from a committee on agricultural issues has been called out by farmer leaders.

The committee, headed by former agriculture secretary Sanjay Agrawal, will have 26 members, including farmer representatives, agri-scientists and agri-economists, as well as officials from Central and state governments, a notification issued by the Ministry of Agriculture said.

The committee has announced the names of the representatives of other farmer organisations but has not mentioned the names of representatives of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), which spearheaded the one-year-long agitation at Delhi borders and forced the government to withdraw the farm laws.

While announcing the repeal of three farm laws in November last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to set up a committee to discuss the farmers' demand for a legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP).

While representatives from Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Odisha and Karnataka feature on the committee, no representative from Punjab was included.
