He added that only in farmers case, "prices are fixed by traders and middlemen which causes huge losses to them.
Stay and food charges vary from hotel to hotel, electronic and clothes manufacturers decide their own prices, (then) why is it that only farmers can't fix the price of their produce," the minister questioned. Rates of railway tickets are decided by the Railways. "If you go to purchase medicines, fixing its price is the prerogative of drug manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. Outsiders giving reaction on this is unjustifiable and uncalled for." Asked what were the reasons that the stalemate was not coming to an end, Gadkari said farmer unions should understand this that some elements wanted to confuse them and emphasised that those insisting on selling products only in mandi were actually the people who were committing injustice to farmers. We don't have right to interfere in other countries affairs and we don't speak on their internal problems. On some countries expressing concerns over the protests over farm laws, Gadkari said: "Farmers' agitation is our internal issue. It is also beyond my comprehension as to how people who gave anti-national speeches are said to be associated with the agitation," the minister said.įarmers should thwart attempts by such elements to encash their agitation and come forward as the government is ready to initiate dialogue on the three farm laws, he said. "One thing is beyond my understanding that how photographs of people arrested in our Gadchiroli district (of Maharashtra) in connection with Naxal attacks and who are not linked to farmers and not supporting them were being displayed during farmer protests. The senior minister said he was unable to comprehend as to why photographs of people who supported Naxalites and are not linked to farmers in any way were seen during the farmers' protests. They should come forward and hold talks," Road Transport, Highways and MSME Minister Gadkari said.Īsserting that "communication is the channel" to solve the problem, he said "when the government is ready to hold discussions, the farmers should come forward" as "where there is no communication, there are problems and misunderstandings". We are ready to accept their genuine demands. Under democracy, the government is ready to hold discussions. This kind of politics is not in the interest of the nation.
"There are attempts by forces to misguide and confuse farmers and derive advantage out of their protests.
