The farmers' agitation has entered day 49 and defies resolution. It's getting amply clear that the actual stake holders have slowly been pushed into irrelevance by a virulent set of hijackers who want to create chaos and anarchy. There seems to be a set of people hell bent on bringing the government down to its knees.
The Supreme Court steps in
The farmers' agitation has been going on for the last 48 days. There has been many rounds of talks between the government and the farmers' organisations and it's more or less clear that a dead end has been reached. The farmers want the immediate repeal of the farm laws while the government has very categorically stated that it's ready to look at amendments to the laws but would not repeal the laws.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court while considering the case filed regarding the Farm laws and the connected agitations had stayed the laws from being made operational and announced the formation of an expert team of four to look into every aspect of the laws and suggest solutions.
The Reactions
The farmers' unions have announced that they would not go for discussions with the Supreme Court as the four members that have been co-opted by it, are known supporters of the farm laws. The Khalistanis - working from day 1 to create anarchy - the nuisance brigade, consisting of Yogendra Yadav and others and the unions of the combined opposition just want this waywardness to continue. They are also preparing for their march, along with tractors, on the Rajpath where the traditional Republic Day Parade is slated to take place on 26 Jan.
The thing that amazes me
The farmers' agitation is all about those from Punjab and Haryana, who have strong reservations on the new set of laws. The fact that these people, alone, can create such a lot of ruckus halting normal life around New Delhi is amazing. It would be worthwhile to go through the anatomy of this agitation scripted from Punjab and Haryana.
* It all began with the famous Green Revolution, in Punjab, initiated by Linus Pauling in 1967. Punjab, consequently, had improved upon its productivity so much so, that the FCI godowns all over the country started storing excess food grains and it didn't take too long for stories to emanate about the colossal wastage of rotten food grains when people were starving.
* Punjab was given a lot of incentives for its spectacular achievements which did not have a time stipulation.
* And soon a new norm was scripted where designated markets and middlemen ruled the roost. The net result was that the poor farmer did not get adequate value for their produce, he was not allowed to choose the market of his choice and the middlemen thrived without contributing anything meaningful towards the advancement of agriculture in real terms by adopting state-of-the-art-methods and practices to achieve international standards.
It's this state that's gonna change with the implementation of the new set of laws. People like the Badals of Punjab and the Pawars of Maharashtra - just two of the thriving 'agricultural middlemen' - who are quite against the implementation of the laws.
It now needs to be seen as to how the government steps in to implement the recommendations of the Supreme Court.
What I desire.
I would like all the middlemen, the fifth columnists and the anti-India groups to be identified - among this so called group of farmers - and exposed to the people of this country. They've to be tried for treason and punished with nothing short of capital punishment.
Tailpiece.
Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a 5' to 10.
Girish and Kiran, two brothers and electricians, were hired liquidate a few long outstanding defects through the policy of repair-by-replacement. They'd carried out the work after their normal work schedule.
