Kisan Sansad passes ‘Bills’ for Assured Minimum Price and loan waiver for indebted farmers

Farmers participating in the All India Kisan Sangharsh Committee (AIKSCC) agitation at Parliament Street here have sought a Farmers’ Commission that will provide immediate loan waiver to indebted farmers and to provide continuous relief to those farmers who are in distress due to indebtedness.They have also suggested that the Minimum Support Price for farm commodities be replaced by ‘Assured Minimum Price’ which will have at least 50 per cent profit margin over and above the comprehensive cost of production of the farm commodity.The two key demands formed the basis of two ‘Bills’ that were ‘passed’ in the Kisan Sansad here by raising of hands.
