New Delhi In the midst of the peasant movement, PM Narendra Modi has said some interesting things about this in the Rajya Sabha. Not only this movement was included in his address, but he touched many other areas in this address as well. He said that the opposition once used to talk about the rights of farmers, today he is opposing the agricultural reforms done by the government. This is being done only under politics. He said that farmers have produced records even during the Corona period. The country is full of food grains. They also have to reform the laws after some time. He also sought the support of the opposition to convince the agitators. Let’s read some special things about his address during this
He said that a new group is now coming out among the workers and intellectuals, whose name is the agitator. Be it the students’ movement or the farmers or anyone else, they reach everywhere. He said that these agitators work to mislead people. He also criticized the foreigners who supported the farmers. He said that the country is in dire need to avoid FDI which is foreign destructive ideology. Let me tell you that in support of farmers, many foreigners have supported the peasant movement without knowing the agricultural reforms. PM Modi has targeted him only. He also said that even in the Corona era, the neighboring country left no stone unturned to spread tension on the border. Our soldiers fought it out firmly and gave a befitting reply to China. The government is not going to bow down to anyone on the boundary question.
In the Corona period, India has done the work of saving humanity. He said that in the operation theater of any hospital in the world, when the patient sees an Indian in the crowd of doctors, he gets encouraged. This is the confidence India has gained over the years. The Center and the states have together reached the country. Both have done the work of turning the crisis in the Corona era into opportunity.
He took note of the statements made by Congress MP Bajwa and said that when he was listening to him, he felt that he would probably talk about Emergency and anti-Sikh violence. During this time, he also read Netaji’s statement in the House in which he said that India has not been influenced by Western Civilization. The history of India has been a witness to this fact. Today India needs to be protected from the attack on her. This Satyam is adorned with Shivam Sundram. PM Modi said that today we have forgotten his ideals in the unknown. We carry forward the words of the world and forget our words.
We are not only a big democracy but we are its root. We have to tell the coming generation. Our mind is folkloric. During the Emergency, the whole country was converted into a prison. Even after this, it did not shake its democratic roots. Therefore, we have to move forward while protecting democratic values.
Speaking on self-reliant India, he said that people all over the world are craving investment in the Corona period. This is not the case in India. At the same time, the world is seeing India moving towards double-digit. Today India has the second highest number of Internet users in the world. Some time back questions were raised about digitization. Today the view is in front of everyone. We are also moving forward in times to come. We are also moving ahead in the waters and sky.
When he first came to the House in 2014, he said that his government is dedicated to the poor. Even today it has not changed. We have to end poverty to move the country forward. It cannot be reduced or stopped. The confidence of the poor has to be awakened, after which it will again start to destroy itself. More than two crore poor houses were built and more than eight crore gas connections were given. These schemes have changed the lives of the poor and increased their confidence. Amidst the challenges, we have to decide whether to be a part of the problem or to find a solution. Being part of the problem can only be politicized. He hoped that everyone would work together.
Talking about the farmers’ movement, PM Modi said that no one has clarified what the movement was about. Nobody paid attention to its basics. The Union Agriculture Minister kept many things in the House. Deve Gowda supported the government’s cooperation and also suggested them. Thank you for this. Former PM Chaudhary Charan Singh Ji had said that 36 percent farmers are those who have less than two bighas. 18 percent has less than half a hectare. No matter how hard they try, it is difficult to pass through them. Living small farmers is difficult. The number of such farmers in the country is increasing, they have very less land. 12 crore farmers own land of less than two hectares. It is necessary to think about them.
Small farmers do not come in the declaration of debt waiver during elections. It only involves politics. They do not benefit from such announcements. After 2014, to give benefits to the farmers, the government increased the scope of the crop insurance scheme, then a claim of 90 thousand crore rupees was given to the farmers. The scope of Kisan Credit Card was expanded. Today, twenty five million farmers are under its ambit and are reaping the benefits. Money was directly transferred to the farmers’ account under the PM Samman Nidhi Yojana. Politics in Bengal came to a halt. One lakh 15 thousand crore rupees have been received by the farmers.
The farmer government took the urea to small farmers. Pension facility was given to him. Through roads we reached the farmers. When the Kisan Rail was introduced, farmers from far flung areas saw a new path. Farmers are taking advantage of the Kisan Udaan scheme today.
Empowerment of small farmers has been advocated by everyone. Every government has said about it. Sharad Pawar has supported reforms in the new law. He said that we have done what we felt now. There is scope for improvement in the future as well. But its advocates have suddenly taken a U-turn. Politics dominate them. They should be told that reforms should be done. He also read a statement of former PM Manmohan Singh in the Rajya Sabha in this context.
He said that PM Manmohan Singh had talked about giving the farmer the right to sell his produce anywhere. Therefore, the opposition should be proud that this government has to accept the talk of former PM Manmohan Singh. There is a supply chain in the milk sector which is very strong. These people are getting its benefits. This strength has been found in previous governments. It has a turnover of around Rs 8 lakh crore.
