MP Gaurav Gogoi says Center must listen to demands of farmers

Guwahati: Assam Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, on December 6 asserted that the Central government must listen to the demands of farmers. This statement comes as farmers gather at the Shambhu border to begin their march to Delhi with a charter of 12 demands.
Speaking to reporters, Gaurav Gogoi said, “The government should understand and listen to the demands of farmers which are very important. The government should not give false hopes to the farmers.”
Furthermore, the Assam MP also took a jibe at the BJP ministers, calling them ministers for Adani rather than for the party.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav said that the government should accept the demands of the farmers, stating, “The government should accept the demands of the farmers and hold talks with them…The farmers are protesting because their demands are not being met.”
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said that it is unfortunate that the farmers continue to fight and the BJP continues to ignore them.
“BJP is an anti-farmer government and the government which brought the three black laws…Even the Vice President of India has publically rebuked the Agriculture Minister that he should live up to the promises and commitments made to the farmers,” Chaturvedi said.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said that a group of 100 farmers will move towards Delhi peacefully.
The police have barricaded the Ambala-Delhi border as the farmers will leave from Shambhu Border for Delhi at 1 pm today. Their protest centres on several demands, including a legal assurance of a minimum support price (MSP).
