As thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh have been protesting against the Centre’s three contentious farm bills on Delhi borders since six months, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Wednesday warned the central government to not test their patience, initiate the dialogue and accept the demands.

The farmers have been camping at three Delhi border – Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur for almost six months, demanding the complete withdrawal of three farm laws and a legal guarantee for the minimum support Price (MSP) and other two issues.

More than 470 farmers have been martyred in the farmers’ movement. Many agitators have had to leave their jobs, education and other work. The government’s attitude meanwhile shows how inhuman and careless it is towards its own citizens, the ‘anna daatas. If the government cares about its farmers and wants their welfare, then it should initiate dialogue with the farmers and accept their demands, the SKM said in a statement, warning the government to “not test the patience of farmers.

So far, there have been 11 rounds of talks between the protesting unions and the government, but the deadlock has continued as both sides have stuck to their stand.

In January, the government had offered to suspend the farm laws for 12-18 months, which was rejected by the farmer unions. The Supreme Court stayed the implementation of the laws till further orders and set up a committee to resolve the impasse.

When this government, which pretends to do the welfare of farmers, takes “full credit” for increasing production or export in any crop or state, it should also take responsibility for every “human loss and other loss” taking place on the borders of Delhi, the SKM, an umbrella body of agitating farmer unions, said.

The spells of rainfall in Delhi on Wednesday under the impact of cyclone Tauktae, according to the protesting farmers’ union, has caused a great deal of disruption and losses at the different agitating venues.

It has been a chaotic situation with regard to food and accommodation, due to the rain. Roads and several parts of the protest sites have been filled up with rainwater, the union said.

For six months now, in all such circumstances, in the absence of any government facilities and support, the protesting farmers themselves are handling such situations, it claimed.

The government has projected the new laws as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove mandi system and middlemen and allow farmers to sell their produce anywhere in the country. However, the protesting farmers argue that the new laws have no mention of minimum support price (MSP) and the mandis that will leave them at the mercy of big corporates. The farmers have laid siege to Delhi even as the government scrambles to find an amicable solution. They argue that they would settle for nothing less than total scrapping of the legislations.
