[Marxistindia] Repeal Farm Laws

[news from the cpi(m)]

January 27, 2021
Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Repeal Farm Laws
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) hails the mammoth tractor parade organized by
farmers' unions on the Republic Day.  Over a lakh of tractors participated
with many lakhs of farmers peacefully moving on the agreed routes for the
parade.  
 
In all states in the country, similar parades and other actions of
solidarity took place in a big manner.  This struggle emphatically
reiterated that these farm laws must be repealed and the MSP must be
legislated as the legal right of all farmers in the country.
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) extends its full solidarity and support to
the Samyukta Kisan Morcha's decision to continue the peaceful struggle till
these retrograde farm laws are repealed.
 
The untoward incidents that occurred cannot detract the focus from the main
demand.  These incidents, handiwork of agent provocators, some with links to
the ruling party, have been denounced by the entire farmers' movement.  At
the same time, even on the agreed routes for the tractor parade, the police
obstructed by resorting to lathicharges and teargasing at various places,
provoking naturally an angry reaction.   Such police actions cannot be
condoned.  
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M), once again, calls upon the Central
government to immediately announce the repeal of these laws and move towards
this end in the forthcoming budget session of the Parliament.
