Farmers’ protest latest update
Reforms must be participatory, not Arbitrary/ Anand Sharma
New Delhi: 14/Dec/2020
Senior Congress leader and former union minister Anand Sharma on Monday said reforms need to be backed by national consensus and urged the government to involve chief ministers of states to resolve the current farmers’ agitation against the new agricultural laws. Speaking at the annual FICCI AGM he called upon the government to be more generous in giving out money to all sections affected by the coronavirus pandemic, especially the poor, and provides more stimulus to help revive the economy.
“Today what we are seeing is turbulence and protests on the farm laws. Reforms must be participatory, not arbitrary. There must be consultations. Nothing should be rushed through or done without building a consensus. That results in what we are seeing – agitation, conflict and the loss of trust,” he said. “I personally feel that through dialogue, negotiations and persuasion, everything can be resolved. We have chief ministers of states and they must be involved and let’s get over this crisis too, together as a nation,” the former union minister said.
