Leaders of All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) today made a scathing attack
over the ruinous policies pursued by both Central and state governments
while holding these responsible for indebtedness of the peasantry. A
member of the Central Kisan Council of the AIKS Hannan Mollah a former
MP revealed that one farmer was compelled to commit suicide every half
an hour in India owing to the fact that farming was no longer a viable
and sustainable profession. Addressing a large rally of the farmers on
the occasion of three day state conference of Haryana Kisan Sabha he
asked the farmers and agriculture workers to unite and launch struggles
in order to reverse retrograde policies.
AIKS national Vice- President Amra Ram, MLA (Rajasthan) accused the Congress governments of Haryana and Rajasthan of fraudulently taking away farmers prime lands and handing these lands over to Robert Vadra for appeasement of Smt. Sonia Gandhi. He held both Congress and BJP for following similar economic policies. Jatinder Chaudhary a minister in the Tripura government highlighted the achievements of CPI(M) led Left Front government by stating that land was distributed to all landless, power was given free for tube wells, education was imparted free to all upto college level and total literacy has been achieved by the state. He said that their government was never making propaganda of these achievements unlike Bhupinder Hooda government claiming the state as number one though the farmers were deprived of subsidies in fertilizers, seeds, pesticides ets.
AIDWA all India Vice-President Jagmati Sangwan called upon the women to stand up and launch social movements unitedly with struggling farmers against female foeticide, alcoholism, violence against women, casteism and other social evils. CPI(M) state secretary Inderjit Singh asked the gathering to grasp the challenge posed to the livelihood and dignity of toilig masses and strive to alter the policies of neo-liberalism which have benefited only the selected vested interests and MNCs.
Others addressing the Kisan rally were Harpal Singh ex- MLA, Phool Singh Sheokand and Pradeep Singh, general secretary, President and Treasurer of AIKS Haryana. They asked where the jobs promised as a result of setting up of SEZs in lieu of huge amounts of lands acquired by the companies who were now being allowed to change the land use through corrupt practices at the official level.
