Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik on Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah not to offend farmers protesting against the agriculture laws, reported PTI.
None of the laws are in favour of [the] farmers, he said. The country in which farmers and soldiers are not satisfied, that country cannot move ahead. That country cannot be saved. Hence, the Army and farmers should be kept satisfied.
The governor also claimed that he intervened to stop farmer leader Rakesh Tikait from being arrested.
Malik said that farmers will relent if the Centre gives a legal guarantee on the minimum support price for crops. I recently met a journalist who is close to the PM, he said, according to The Indian Express. I told him I have already tried, its now his turn to explain that its a bad move to send back farmers by putting pressure on them and humiliating them. They have not come to go back. If they go back, they will remember it for 300 years. They want a guarantee on MSP. If the government gives MSP a legal backing, the protest will end.
The governor said he was advised to not speak up about the farmers protest but he could not hold himself back. Governors are meant to stay silent They have to rest and not do any work, he said. They are expected to not say anything but it is my habit to speak up. When I saw what was happening to the farmers, I couldnt stop myself from speaking up.
Malik also said that farmers were getting poorer day by day while the salary of government officials and staff increases after every three years. Whatever is sown by a farmer is cheap and whatever he buys is expensive, he said. They do not know how they are becoming poor. The satyanaash [annihilation] of the farmers is taking place without their knowledge. When they go to sow [crops], there is some price, and when they go to reap it, the price decreases by almost Rs 300.
