Empathising with farmers who have been protesting against the Centre for the last nine days demanding statutory backing to minimum support price (MSP) for their crops, the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Thursday adopted a resolution demanding that the Centre enact a legislation to prescribe MSP for all crops of farmers.
“This House demands that the farmers’ most justified demands (providing legal guarantee for MSP) be fulfilled without resorting to conflict with them,” the resolution, which was adopted amid dharna by the Opposition BJP and JD(S) members, said.
Blaming the Centre for the problems of farmers, the resolution observed that the measures being followed by the Centre have turned out to be “anti-farmer” and created a situation that is denying minimum support price.
