This summary should also further explain all the Valid reasons behind the protest.1. Bill does not allow the farmer to approach the court. If there is a dispute, SDM will decide. If the decision is not acceptable, then the farmer must approach the Joint Secretary of central govt.a. Imagine a 2-acre farmer putting a fight with Corporations with legal departments in front of SDM OR traveling to Delhi to approach Joint Secretary2. Buyer will draw a contract and if a farmer cannot meet the agreement, then SDM can impose a fine of up to 5 lacs.a. Imagine farmer reading/negotiating Airtel or Jio contracts.b. How many of us were successful in getting these service providers a promised speed?c. Chips maker had a contract with potato farmers in Punjab, and later it rejected potatoes on the ground that potatoes are not of the same shape or size. Remember, potatoes grow in soil and are not manufactured in the cast.3. Bill waives tax (Punjab 8.5 and Haryana 6%) collected by Mandi boards from private buyers.a. This removes competition for private players from Mandi boards.b. This revenue is collected from central agencies to build rural area infrastructure. Who will now fill that tax hole?4. Bill does not guarantee MSP or mentions ita. Allows private players to buy farm produce at a lower price5. BILL removes essential commodity acta. Allow hoardings and raise prices for food items.6. Bill supporters claim that it removes the middleman (Arthiya).a. But Bill introduces now bigger sharks removing small fish.b. Arthiya works on a 1-2% service feec. He facilitates purchase from buyer bases on service fee like any other dealership or service provider.d. There is no mark up in the purchase price7. The crop being a 6-month cycle, Arthiya is like atm to farmers providing credit for 6 months cycle for inputs purchases.a. Now, with Arthiya being removed, who will provide creditb. Where does the farmer go for money to buy farm inputs and his daily needsc. Bill or Government has not created an alternative for this8. Why protests are limited to Punjab and Haryanaa. Farming is a state subject. States like Bihar had removed APMC in 2006, leaving only private players.b. Punjab and Haryana have developed a Mandi system over the years where any produce brought into Mandis cannot be purchased below MSP.c. Crops like Rice are sold in states like Bihar at a price below the MSP.d. Farmers from neighboring states sell their produce at MSP in Punjab or Haryana as these states have better Mandi system which offers MSPe. On ground Haryana BJP govt has stopped farmers from other states to sell their crops in Haryana which itself is stand opposite to Central Govts new Bills#CopiedandReposted#kisanektazindabaad#isupportfarmers#SupportFarmersProtest#kisaanektazindabad#tractor2twitter#supportkisaan#supportfarmers
