Jaipur: FIR against BJP's 'chaupal' on Farm Laws; 800 including leaders, farmers booked

As BJP organizes 'chaupals' as a part of its outreach program to farmers, Congress-led government in Rajasthan in a shocking move booked all attendees for attending pro-law meeting. Around 800 attendees of meeting, including top brass of BJP like Bhupender Yav, have been booked by  Rajasthan Police under Pandemic Act. Apart from 18-19 BJP leers, FIR also includes all those who attended meet including farmers and supporters.

"I strongly condemned what happened. Is re no democracy under Congress government? Today if we are trying to spre awarness over bills amongst farmers through chaupals, what is problem of Congress. y can do whatever y want, we will continue to spre awareness. By 2022, farmers of India will be self-reliant, prosperous and will independent," said BJP's Ashok Parnami.

During chaupal, PM Modi's dress to farmers was telecasted during which he announced second installment of PM-KISAN package for farmers. Under aegis of PM-Kisan, funds worth over Rs.18,000 crore will be distributed to 9 crore farmer families. Along with this, Rs.6000 will be directly transferred to bank accounts of small and marginal farmer families having combined land ownership of up to two hectares in three installments per year.

saffron party's chaupal comes with regard to its mega outreach program to counter misinformation over agrarian laws with 700 press conferences and 700 chaupal across country.

Next round of talks on Dec 29 

What started as a scheduled protest in national capital on November 26 and 27, has turned into an endless agitation almost a month in, as thousands of farmers continue to stay put at borders of Delhi demanding that reforms be 'repealed'.

Meanwhile, Centre has been clear that laws would not be revoked. It has, on or hand, offered several proposed amendments to laws, keeping in mind grievances of community offering assurances on MSP and APMC markets, which emerged as major causes of concern. It has to date, held 6 rounds of discussions with agitating unions, all ending in a stalemate. Leers of 40 protesting farm unions (Kisan Sanyukt Morcha) will meet  Centre for next round of talks on 29 December at 11 AM.
