Government Should Work To Withdraw Cases Against Farmers: Meghalaya Governor

The farmers' agitation has only been suspended, and if there is any injustice, it will start again, Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik said on the sidelines of an event in Haryana's Charkhi Dadri where he was honoured by the Phogat Khap.

Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik on Sunday said the Centre will have to work with honesty to withdraw cases registered against farmers during the agri laws protest and give a legal framework to MSP for crops.

The farmers' agitation has only been suspended, and if there is any injustice, it will start again, he told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Haryana's Charkhi Dadri where he was honoured by the Phogat Khap.

"The government will have to work with honesty to withdraw the cases against the farmers and give a legal framework (guarantee) on MSP. This is the government's responsibility," he said in response to a question.

"But if the government thinks the agitation has ended, it is not so. It has only been suspended. If there is injustice or if there are any excesses with farmers, then the stir will start again," he added.
