SKM rejects the committee formed by the Government on MSP #IndiaNEWSAll #Farm Laws
Samyukta Kisan Morcha has rejected the committee formed by the Government of India on MSP and other issues, and has decided not to nominate its representative in the committee. Morcha had made public its doubts about any such committee ever since it was announced by Prime Minister along with the repeal of the three black laws on 19 November.
In the month of March, when the government had asked the Morcha for names for this committee, the Morcha had sought clarification from the government about the committee, to which it never got a reply.
On July 3, the national meeting of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha unanimously decided that “unless the government clarifies the jurisdiction and terms of reference of this committee, there is no point to nominate a representative of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha to this committee”. Samyukta Kisan Morcha says all its doubts about this committee have come true with the notification issued by the Government. it feels there is no rationale for sending representatives of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha to such an anti-farmer and meaningless committee.
MSP committee full of government representatives and its loyalists: SKM
When the government had asked the Morcha for the names for this committee, in response to it, in an email sent to the Agriculture Secretary on 24 March 2022, the Morcha asked the government:
i) What will be the TOR (Terms of Reference) of this committee?
ii) Apart from Samyukta Kisan Morcha, which other organizations, individuals and office bearers will be included in this committee?
iii) Who will be the chairman of the committee and what will be its functioning?
iv) How much time will the committee get to submit its report?
v) Will the recommendation of the committee be binding on the government?
The Government did not respond to these questions. Yet the Agriculture Minister kept making statements that the formation of the committee was stalled due to non-receipt of the names of the representatives from the Samyukta Kisan Morcha.
All the apprehensions of SKM about this committee turned out to be true Morcha cannot have any association with such anti-farmer committee

By announcing this committee before the Parliament session, the government has tried to complete the paperwork. But the notification makes clear the ill-intentions of the government behind this committee and the irrelevance of the committee:
1. The chairman of the committee is former Agriculture Secretary Sanjay Agarwal, who drafted all three anti-farmer laws. He is accompanied by Ramesh Chand, a member of NITI Aayog, who was the main advocate of these three laws. As experts, it is the economists who have been against giving legal status to MSP.
