New Delhi, 8 January (Sangrami Lehar Bureau)- As peoples’ anger against the Central Govts’ refusal to repeal the Acts is gaining strength, another protest site has opened up in Gangaicha border in Rewari while the Manesar protest is continuously gaining in strength. The WG has in the meanwhile reiterated the call for wide and huge mobilizations during the protests on January 13, 18, 23 and 26th.
Working Group of AIKSCC has said that the Fight to Repeal the 3 Farm Acts is very much a fight to protect Environment, River and Forest resources and save the Seed Sovereignty of the country. These will be further jeopardized once Corporate and MNC control over agriculture markets and farm processes gains control due to implementation of these Acts.
WG has said the success of this movement will have several gains for the country, particularly saving the food security as Corporate interests lie not with providing food to the hungry but in utilizing agriculture for profits. It is not just govt procurement and PDS, already this year Modi Govt has decided to free up supply of wheat, rice, jowar, bajra, barley and others for conversion into alcohol to be mixed in fuel. The poor man’s food will serve as rich man’s fuel.
This movement, the WG has said is not only creating an atmosphere of peoples’ unity and communal harmony especially under threat from Active Communal forces, the message being imbibed from the Gurudwara Service Culture is one of sacrifice and deep consideration for the neighbour, for those in misery and struggle. It is contrary to Corporate Culture of looking after one’s own interest.
WG, AIKSCC has said it believes that the wide and deep unity amongst farming people being created will end the attempts to sow regional dissensions over division of water and will create an atmosphere where water resources are salvaged from corporate loot and are used more efficiently for farming and peoples’ development. The transfer of Narmada and other Big dam reservoir water to are cases in consideration as are inter-state water disputes.
