Farmers will wage fierce battle against govt. if it doesn't bring law on MSP, says Satya Pal Malik

"The farmers' movement is not over yet, it was the dharna which ended. If a law on MSP is not made, then the farmers will wage a fierce battle against the country's government," the Meghalaya Governor said

Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik on Sunday said the farmers' movement is not over yet and that they will wage a "fierce battle" against the government if it does not bring a law on minimum support price (MSP).

Speaking at a Jat community programme in Jaipur, Mr. Malik said he will also join the movement once he completes his term as Meghalaya governor.

Mr. Malik has targeted the government several times in the recent past over farmers' issues.

"The farmers' movement is not over yet, it was the dharna which ended. If a law on MSP is not made, then the farmers will wage a fierce battle against the country's government," Mr. Malik said.

He said only four months of his tenure as Meghalaya governor are left and he will also join the movement once he completes his term.

Mr. Malik said when the farmers were protesting against the farm laws, he went to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and told him that atrocities were being committed against them.
