Government needs to resolve farmers issue, not Supreme Court: AIKS
The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) on Friday said the issue of the ongoing farmers protests against three new farm laws needs to be resolved by the government and not the Supreme Court.
The AIKS, a key member of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha that is spearheading the Dilli Chalo agitation against the three farm laws, asserted that no farmer organisation approached the court in the first place and asked for its intervention in the matter. The issue needs to be resolved by the Centre and not the Supreme Court. The court order has also said the same categorically. We have not approached the court because of this understanding that it is a struggle by the farmers against a government policy and the executive has to resolve the crisis, senior AIKS leader P Krishnaprasad said.
