TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The All India Kisan Sabha says the government is trying to divide farmers’ groups. In a press release, the Sabha said, “The unprecedented growing unity of the agrarian classes will be further cemented through the ongoing Kisan struggle across the country, and will strongly counter the cynical handwork by the Modi Government to divide the Kisan movement.
“The central government, apart from using repression against the farmers in struggle, has also used all other means to defame and discredit the struggle. But all these efforts have gone in vain. “The growing unity among the agrarian classes is clearly visible in the ongoing farmers struggle. The enduring agrarian crisis that had taken a toll of over five lakh peasant suicides due to indebtedness is the major cause that ensures consolidation of the peasant classes against the neo-liberal policies.
“The unprecedented massive participation in the ongoing struggle needs to be assessed in the background of the systemic crisis of the capitalist system the world over and the plan of multinational corporate forces to overcome the crisis by intensifying the exploitation of the basic classes by denying them the right price and wage for a dignified life.
“It gives Narendra Modi an image as a feeble administrator under the corporate grip, unable to resolve the massive struggle of the farmers who are sitting in lakhs, day and night in the cold winter. AIKS demands that the Modi Government change its adamant stand and settle the struggle by keeping the tradition of India’s democratic governance.”
