A day ahead of the crucial meeting with the Centre, the protesting farmers from Punjab camping at different locations along the boundary with Haryana on Saturday asked the Union government to bring an ordinance for a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) on crops.
At Shambhu, addressing a press conference, Sarwan Singh Pandher of Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) said the government should immediately issue an ordinance if it wanted to resolve the farmers’ protest. “If the Modi government’s intent is clear towards resolving the issue, then they can bring an ordinance on legal guarantee for MSP immediately. Discussions can then proceed further,” he said.
