Discussion On Crop Loss Due To Various Reasons And Its Impact On ... on 5 December, 2019

संसदीय कार्य मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री तथा भारी उद्योग और लोक उद्यम मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री (श्री अर्जुन राम मेघवाल): सभापति महोदया, हम एग्रीकल्चर के विषय पर नियम 193 की चर्चा दो-तीन दिनों से लगा रहे हैं । मैं आपसे अनुरोध करना चाहूंगा कि उसको पहले ले लिया जाए, क्योंकि वित्त मंत्री जी दूसरे हाउस में टैक्सेशन लॉ में बिजी है, इसलिए इसके बाद उस विषय को ले लिया जाए ।

 

माननीय सभापति: ठीक है, नियम 193 के अधीन चर्चा शुरू की जाए ।

       श्री कोडिकुन्नील सुरेश जी ।

   

SHRI KODIKUNNIL SURESH (MAVELIKKARA): Hon. Chairperson, thank you for giving me this opportunity to raise a discussion under Rule 193 on the topic `Crop loss due to various reasons and its impact on farmers’. At the outset I would like to submit that the Government has no intent, desire, and genuine concern towards addressing the issues of farmers in the country. The notice I gave for this discussion read -- `Agrarian crisis and farmers’ distress’. The Government did not accept the language in which I submitted my notice for this discussion, instead have formulated the language for the discussion in another way. The Government chose to ignore the topic that would have exposed the failure of the BJP Government to the public. The Government formulated another language which read -- `Crop loss due to various reasons and its impact on farmers’. They have not chosen the straight path but instead have taken a circuitous route to deviate from the core issue. But this anti-farmer and anti-agriculturist attitude of the BJP Government thus stands exposed in this House as the Modi Government is afraid of facing the truth of deeply disturbing agrarian crisis engulfing the country by refusing to address the real concern. The Congress and other like-minded parties decided to raise this issue in this august House.
