“It is the Prime Minister Modi-led government at the Centre that has taken steps towards implementation of recommendations of the Swaminathan Committee Report and Mr. Swaminathan himself had acknowledged it,” Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Coal and Mines Pralhad Joshi said.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Saturday, Mr. Joshi said that 90% of the people leading the farmers’ agitation in New Delhi were not farmers and there was no opposition to farm laws in the country barring Punjab and Haryana. He said that those leading the agitation kept calling the farm laws as ‘kaala kanoon’. However, when asked to point out what was wrong with the laws, they failed to do so.
