‘Withdraw from WTO and trade agreements, a monthly pension of Rs 10,000 to farmers’: Demands made by Political ‘farmers’ while marching to Delhi

Ahead of the farmers’ ‘Chalo Dilli’ march call given for 13th February, Haryana and Rajasthan Police have sealed borders with Punjab to stop the large influx of protesting farmers from the state. Notably, more than 200 farmers’ unions, including the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, have announced a ‘Delhi Chalo’ march scheduled for 13th February (Tuesday) demanding legal guarantee for MSP and other demands.

Section 144 imposed in Delhi, parts of Rajasthan and Haryana

In the wake of the upcoming Farmers Protest 2.0, the Delhi Police has imposed Section 144 in the national capital for a month, till 12th March. However, certain activities like weddings, funeral processions, and religious rallies are allowed after getting permission from the authorities concerned. Additionally, using amplifiers or loudspeakers on any private vehicle or in a public area is prohibited unless specifically allowed.

Apart from Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan have also taken similar measures in a few districts. While the borders are being sealed, the Haryana government has imposed Section 144 of the CrPC in 15 out of 22 districts. Rajasthan has imposed Section 144 in the Sri Ganganagar district which borders Punjab’s Fazilka, Muktsar, and Bathinda districts.

Demands of the protesting farmers

The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Samyukt Kisan Morcha-Non Political (SKM-NP) have raised several demands before the Union government, here is a list of the prominent demands of the Farmer Unions. 

  1. A Law to ensure Minimum Support Price (MSP) for all crops. 
  2. Introduce a pension scheme specifically designed for farmers and agricultural labourers to ensure they have financial security in their later years. Farmers demand Rs 10000 monthly pension when a farmer turns 60 years of age. 

Speaking with ANI, General Secretary of Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, Sarvan Singh Pandher said, “We will start from Beas & stay at Fatehgarh Sahib. Our demands are the same- MSP guarantee law, Sugar cane should be joined with C200…When a farmer turns 60 years old he should be given Rs 10,000 a month..”

  1. Implement Swaminathan Commission Report MSP on C2 + 50% formula.
  2. Quit the World Trade Organisation and suspend all free trade agreements to protect domestic agriculture.
  3. Withdraw all cases filed across the country against agitators during the 2020-21 farmers’ protest.
  4. Implementation of a comprehensive debt relief program. This also includes a complete waiver of the loans for the entire farming and labourer community nationwide.
  5. Repeal Electricity (Amendment) Act, 2023
  6. Reinstate the nationwide implementation of the Land Acquisition Act of 2013, requiring written consent from farmers and ensuring compensation at four times the collector rate.
  7. Action on those responsible for the Lakhimpur Kheri incident and ensure Justice.
  8. Provide compensation to the families of farmers who lost their lives during the Delhi agitation, along with offering employment opportunities to one member of each affected family.
  9.  Increase the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) to give 200 days of employment annually and a daily wage of Rs 700. Also to integrate it with agricultural activities.
  10.  Impose severe penalties on companies engaged in the production of counterfeit seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers, alongside enhancing seed quality standards.
  11. Set up a national commission specifically for spices like chili, turmeric, and other aromatic crops to encourage and bolster their cultivation.
  12. End reducing import duty on agricultural goods

As per media reports citing sources, the government has presented to farmers that they have already fulfilled several of their demands. Around 3077 cases out of 3300 cases have been withdrawn. While 98 cases are pending in court and 53 cases are pending withdrawal which amounts to only two percent.

Further, while compensation has been provided in many cases, challenges arise regarding the identification of next of kin, particularly when immediate family ties are unclear.

Union Ministers further guaranteed farmers that they would be exempted from the provisions of the Electricity Act. Additionally, they reiterated the government’s alignment in addressing issues related to counterfeit seeds and pesticides.

As per one assessment, approximately 20,000 farmers from Punjab and 1500 from Haryana are marching towards Delhi to be part of the protests. The police have installed barricading to stop a large influx of farmers and modified tractors from Punjab, however, agitating farmers have been breaking the barricades to continuously move towards Delhi.

Meanwhile, Chaudhary Dalbir Singh Indoor Stadium in Sirsa and Guru Gobind Singh Stadium in Dabwali will be used as temporary jails to keep detained farmers. A senior officer told India Today that CAPF has been deployed in Haryana. He added, “While agitating is part of democracy, threatening to block Delhi with tractors and to cause inconvenience is not good.”

Government is hopeful of resolving the issue

Earlier, three union ministers including Piyush Goyal, Arjun Munda, and Nityanand Rai met the leaders of farmer organisations in Chandigarh to allay their fears. The Union Ministers flew down to Chandigarh to reach out to farmer leaders.

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij assured that the government is in talks with the farmers and the issues will be resolved. He said, “… Three ministers of the Central government have come to Chandigarh and talks of the first round have been done. The second round of talks will be done soon. I am hopeful that this issue will be resolved soon… To protect the people of Haryana and to maintain peace and harmony in the state, we will do whatever is required.”

In Chhattisgarh from where sweepers and ragpickers were invited for Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha, Rahul Gandhi says only bigshots like Amitabh and Adani were called

In Chhattisgarh from where sweepers and ragpickers were invited for Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha, Rahul Gandhi says only bigshots like Amitabh and Adani were called

As the general elections draw near, Rahul Gandhi is busy doing what he does best—spreading lies about Prime Minister Modi and his administration. In a video going viral on social media, the Congress prince is overheard telling the locals in Korba, Chhattisgarh that the Modi government invited high-profile industrialists like the Ambanis and Adanis, as well as celebrities like Aishwarya Rai and Amitabh Bachchan to the Pran Pratishtha event, but failed to invite the country’s impoverished and unemployed citizens for the ceremony.

The Gandhi scion resumed his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Chhattisgarh after a two-day hiatus, which he started with the overly ambitious aim of reviving his party’s fortunes before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

“During Ram Temple’s inauguration, I saw Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Adani, Ambani, and all businessmen attending the event but I didn’t notice any poor, farmer, labourer, unemployed, or ‘chai wala’ among them,” he said.

Although criticizing Prime Minister Modi and his administration is his favourite past time, even if it means lying blatantly, had the Gandhi scion done some homework, he would have known that people from all walks of life were invited to the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha event.

On one side where several dignitaries and celebrities were invited, many people from humble backgrounds, including family members of several karsevaks, sadhus, labourers, sanitisation workers etc were also invited for the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha event.

In fact, what’s even more interesting is that Bidula Bai, an 85-year-old ragpicker, and Santosh Devi, a health worker, who were amongst those invited to the Ram Mandir’s Pran Pratishtha event, are from Chhattisgarh, the place which Rahul Gandhi chose to disseminate this lie.

Bidula Bai Dewaar, 85, is a ragpicker from Chattisgarh’s Gariaband district. She had also received a formal invitation to the Ram Mandir’s inaugural ceremony.

In 2021, Dewaar contributed Rs 20 from her savings for the construction of Ram Temple. The day she made this contribution, she made Rs 40 by selling garbage and donated half of it to the temple fund.

Acknowledging her exceptional gesture, the VHP extended a special invitation for her to have the darshan of Ram Lalla. VHP state president Chandrashekhar Verma had personally visited her and offered the invitation. However, owing to health concerns, Dewar could not make it to the ceremony.

One such other person who was on the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha guest list was Santoshi Durga, a 36-year-old sweeper working in the health department, Santoshi Durga is a resident of Naharpur village of Kanker in Chhattisgarh. Ratan Singh Sindoor, her late father, was employed at the community health centre’s post-mortem house. She had helped her father in around 700 cases of postmortem.

Recognising her significant contributions to social work, Durga had been chosen for the divine darshan of Ram Lalla by the district executive of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Overjoyed to have received the invitation for the darshan of Ram Lalla, Durga said, “Even in my whole life, I never thought that I would be called from Ayodhya, but Lord Ram has called me by sending an invitation letter.”

Notably, Bidula Bai Dewaar and Santoshi Durga were among the many other ordinary people who had been invited to Ram Lalla’s homecoming. Dilip Valmiki, a retired sanitation supervisor of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation, and his wife Manju, a former Bank of Baroda employee, were also extended the invitation to the ceremony.

The couple committed themselves to social work after retirement, concentrating on the Valmiki community through awareness initiatives. Their dedication was acknowledged by higher authorities, which led to their nomination as “yajmans” for Lord Ram’s consecration ceremony.

Expressing his gratitude Dilip Valmiki said, “After a few hours of online formalities, I received an entry pass and my name was announced as a “yajman”. The overwhelming feeling that I have is hard to describe.”

“I am on cloud nine as God has answered all my prayers. Nothing can be bigger than attending such a historic event as a “yajman”. It’s a larger-than-life experience for me,” he added. 

Even though numerous media outlets wrote in-depth articles about the aforementioned invitees and many more ordinary citizens who received invitations to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony Rahul Gandhi persisted in spreading false information in his attempts to poison voters’ minds against the incumbent BJP government before the Lok Sabha elections. Nonetheless, anyone who is familiar with Congress’s previous shenanigans would not be surprised by the Congress MP’s current attempt to capitalize on the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony for the sake of disparaging the Modi administration.

It may be recalled how prior to the ceremony, the Congress claimed that all four Shankaracharyas – Shankaracharya Swami Shri Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati of Badrikashram Jyotirmath in Uttarakhand, Shankaracharya Swami Shri Nischalananda Saraswati of Purvaamnaya Govardhanmath in Puri, Shankaracharya Swami Shri Bharati Teerth Ji of Sringeri Mutt and Shankaracharya Shri Swami Sadanand Saraswati of Paschimannaya Dwarka Shardapeeth – are opposed to the way the ceremony is being held, and they will not attend the same. OpIndia then dispelled this lie by writing a detailed report on what the experts had to say about this.

Later, top spiritual leaders of Sanatan Hindu Dharma, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Dwarka SharadaPeetham and Sringeri Math also issued statements addressed to Lord Ram devotees regarding the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the idol of Lord Ram in Ayodhya on 22nd January. They denounced the fallacies disseminated in social media by vested interests and extended their firm support and belief in the temple. They had reacted to claims by Congress leaders and others that four Shankaracharyas in India including the Shankaracharya of Dwarka and Sringeri math have opposed the pran pratishtha ceremony and that they are not attending the event.

Another Major blow to Congress: Former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan quits Congress, likely to join BJP

In another major setback for Congress, Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and senior party leader Ashok Chavan resigned from the primary membership of the Congress party on 12th February (Monday). He submitted a one-line resignation letter to Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Nana Patole. He met Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar in Mumbai on Monday and has given his resignation as MLA to the speaker.

In the resignation letter, Chavan wrote, “I hereby submit my resignation from the primary membership of the Indian National Congress Party with effect from noon on 12/02/2024”.

Taking to X, he wrote, “Today i.e. on Monday, February 12, 2024, I have tendered my resignation as Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from 85-Bhokar Assembly Constituency to the Assembly Speaker Rahulji Narvekar.” 

This is the third major exit from the Congress party in Maharashtra in recent times. Apart from Chavan, senior Maharashtra Congress leaders Baba Siddique and Milind Deora had ended their decade-long association with the grand old party. While Baba Siddique joined the NCP led by Ajit Pawar, Deora joined the Shiv Sena led by CM Eknath Shinde. Back then, Milind Deora had lambasted Congress in a letter explaining the reason behind his decision to quit Congress. He blamed Congress for branding Business houses as anti-national, fostering caste divisions, and creating a North-South divide among other things. 

However, as per media reports, Ashok Chavan could likely join BJP in the coming days. Amid the buzz of his next move, BJP leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis asked media persons to wait and watch adding that several senior level leaders from Congress are in touch with BJP.  

He said, “I heard about Ashok Chavan from the media. But the only thing I can say now is that several good leaders from Congress are in touch with the BJP. Those leaders who are connected with the masses are feeling suffocated in Congress. I am confident that some big faces will join Congress. Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya, (wait and watch what will happen in the days to come).” 

Ashok Chavan served as Maharashtra’s Chief Minister from December 2008 to November 2010. He was considered one of Congress’s most influential leaders in the state. He is the son of the former Chief Minister, Shankarrao Chavan, and has held various posts within the party, including the role of General Secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee.

Reportedly, when police reached Tejashwi’s house, Anand claimed he had gone there alone.

Signficantly, RJD MLAs Chetan Anand, Neelam Devi and Prahlad Yadav were sitting on the government side in the Bihar Assembly in Patna.

Muslim man died of his own bullet, eyewitness of Haldwani violence tells OpIndia: His brother was part of a Muslim mob that assaulted a lone Hindu man

OpIndia has accessed the exclusive video of the Haldwani violence that rocked the state of Uttarakhand on 8th February 2024. In the visuals, the Muslim mob can be seen assaulting a lone Hindu man before the gruesome violence erupted in Haldwani’s Banbhoolpura area. A man wearing a green T-shirt is seen in the mob. It is being claimed that his brother Faheem Qureshi (26) also died in the firing that took place during the Haldwani violence. While some people are carrying out smear campaigns against the Police, eyewitnesses have shared the details of the incident which reveal otherwise.

In the video accessed by OpIndia, Faheem Qureshi can be seen waving at the police. His brother was part of the mob that assaulted the Hindu youth. During our ground report, an eyewitness shared details about the incident. A youth from the Dalit community in Gandhi Nagar said, “Anyone’s bullet did not kill the one who died. What happened was that when he was firing, he got hit by his own bullet.”

Attached is the video of the eyewitness, here is what he has revealed about the incident.   

In addition to the eyewitness statement, OpIndia has obtained the video of Faheem Qureshi mentioned by the eyewitness. The footage shows a man in a yellow shirt initially standing in the middle of the road with the mob, later moving to the side. As the police pass by, he can be seen waving at them and making challenging gestures. Subsequently, the rest of the crowd turns their attention towards the police.

Haldwani violence

On 8th February, the civic authorities in Haldwani went to demolish an illegal madrasa built on government land in Banbhoolpura when a Muslim mob attacked them. It resulted in a wave of violence across Uttarakhand’s Haldwani, leaving at least six people dead and over 300 police personnel injured. Superintendent of Police Harbans Singh confirmed the same on 9th February. Uttarakhand authorities have registered three First Information Reports (FIR) against 5000 unnamed, and 19 known individuals. As the administration is taking action against the mobsters, intellectuals and left-liberals have come out in support of the encroachers-turned-rioters who attacked the police personnel on an eventful day.

It is pertinent to note that the action by the police municipal corporation authorities against the illegal construction on government land was taken after the Uttarakhand High Court on 8th February, did not grant relief to the petitioners Safia Malik and others seeking a stay on the demolition exercise.

After controlling the rioting crowd, the police started taking action and 30 accused have been arrested so far in this case. 

How Narendra Modi government ensured release of 8 ex-Navy officers from ‘death row’ in Qatar prison: Details

How Narendra Modi government ensured release of 8 ex-Navy officers from ‘death row’ in Qatar prison: Details

On Monday, 12th February, the Ministry of External Affairs announced that eight former Navy officers, who were sentenced to death in Qatar were released. Seven out of eight officers have already returned to India. The former Navy officers thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his personal intervention in the matter and the Government of India’s consistent efforts that led to their release.

It has come to light that PM Modi’s personal relationship with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim ibn Hamad Al Thani, and the behind-the-scenes diplomacy by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval played a vital role in their release from custody. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar handled the diplomatic front in the matter, while Ajit Doval played the role of the advisor to PM Modi. Hindustan Times report suggested that NSA Doval made multiple trips to Doha to approach Qatari leadership and ensure that India’s point of view was adequately presented.

Notably, the eight former Indian Navy officials were arrested by Qatar on alleged charges of espionage and spying for the Israeli government. The exact charges, however, were not disclosed, and the information about the charges was only based on media reports. In October 2023, all eight ex-Indian Navy officers were awarded a death sentence.

The efforts from the Indian side did not slow down, and India filed an appeal against the death sentence in November 2023. The efforts showed signs of progress when the Qatari court commuted the death sentence to a prison term. However, the Indian government aimed to bring the ex-Navy officers back to the country.

Meanwhile, PM Modi met with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Al-Thani on the sidelines of the COP28 summit in Dubai in November 2023. They discussed bilateral partnership and the “well-being of the Indian community” living in Qatar.

In January 2024, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasised the temporal significance of this period. He said, “As far as the issue is concerned, there is a time of 60 days when this issue can be appealed in the Court of Cessation, which is the highest court in Qatar.” He added, “We issued a press release in which we informed you that the death sentence, which was originally a death penalty, has been changed to imprisonment sentence. Now our legal team has that court order, and I can confirm that they all have received sentences of different duration’s, and the death penalty has been abolished.”

Notably, MEA’s legal team consistently pursued the case and had a confidential court order with details of the matter in their possession. Jaiswal also highlighted that PM Modi and Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad met to discuss the bilateral relationships. Though the ministry did not reveal in-depth details of the meeting, it is believed that PM Modi might have raised the matter during the meeting.

PM Modi distributes over 1 lakh appointment letters to new recruits for Central Govt jobs under Rozgar Mela

Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed more than 1 lakh appointment letters to newly inducted recruits under Rozgar Mela, via video conferencing on Monday.

He also laid the foundation stone of Phase I of the integrated complex ‘Karmayogi Bhavan’ in New Delhi, via video conferencing. This complex will promote collaboration and synergy among various pillars of Mission Karmayogi.

While addressing the event through video conferencing, the Prime Minister congratulated the youths and their families.

“Today, more than 1 lakh youth have been given appointment letters for government jobs. You have achieved this success through hard work. I congratulate you all and your families very much,” he said.

Hitting out at the previous government over the delay in giving jobs, PM Modi said, “The right to give jobs to the youth in the Government of India is continuously progressing at a fast pace. In earlier governments, it used to take a very long time from the issue of job advertisement to the issuance of appointment letters. Taking advantage of this delay, the game of bribery was also rampant during that time. We have now made the recruitment process in the Government of India completely transparent”.

“Not only this, the government is very insistent that the recruitment process be completed within the stipulated time. With this, every youth has started getting equal opportunities to prove his ability,” he added.

The Prime Minister applauded the central government for making the recruitment procedure transparent.

“Our government has made the recruitment process transparent. We try to finish the recruitment procedure within a set timeframe so that everyone gets an equal opportunity to showcase his capabilities. Today every youth has faith in his mind that he can make his place based on hard work and his talent. Since 2014, we have endeavoured to connect the youth with the Government of India and make them partners in nation-building,” the Prime Minister said.

Highlighting the new training complex being constructed in the national capital, PM Modis said that it will strengthen the capacity-building initiatives.

“Today, the foundation stone of an Integrated Training Complex has also been laid in Delhi. I am confident that the new training complex will further strengthen our capacity-building initiatives,” he said.

“Since 2014, we have tried to mainstream the youth and help them contribute to nation-building. We have provided 1.5 times more employment opportunities in 10 years compared to the governments before us. Today, an integrated training complex has also been inaugurated in Delhi. I am confident that this will strengthen our resolve to capacity building,” PM Modi added.

Recruitments are taking place across Central Government Departments and State Governments/Union Territories supporting this initiative.

The new recruits will be joining the Government in various Ministries/Departments viz. Department of Revenue, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Higher Education, Department of Atomic Energy, Ministry of Defence, Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Tribal Affairs and Ministry of Railways in various positions.

Rozgar Mela is a step towards the fulfilment of the commitment of the Prime Minister to accord the highest priority to employment generation in the country.

Bankrupt, anti-national ideology: Jyotiraditya Scindia calls out Congress during his speech in Guna

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has termed the ideology of Congress as being “bankrupt” and “anti-national.” The lastest attack came at an event where the Congress leader Ajay Pal Yadav, the brother of Guna MP K P Yadav, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party during Scindia’s visit to Gwalior on Sunday.

Scindia told ANI, “The ideology of Congress is bankrupt…anti-national… On one hand, Congress follows a policy of appeasement, while on the other hand, the BJP follows a policy of satisfaction under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi…”

“Today we are very happy. Ajay Pal ji has rejoined the family of the BJP. I am certain that under the leadership of PM Modi, BJP Chief JP Nadda and Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, we will reach to new heights of development,” he added.

Lashing out at the Congress for not attending the Ram Mandir event, the Minister of Civil Aviation said, “I believe that the public will respond to this. (when it comes to voting at the time of the Lok Sabha election).”

Highlighting the achievements of the government in the last ten years, he said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is burning midnight oil for ensuring the benefits of central schemes reach the doorsteps of beneficiaries.”

Under the Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, 80 crore people benefited, he mentioned. He also spoke about the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Madhya Pradesh on Sunday.

During his visit, he also addressed the tribal society in Ghatogaon.

During his address, Office of the Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia posted on X, “Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s army had many brave tribal commanders who made supreme sacrifice for the country. Therefore, I say that I have blood relations with the tribal community.”

During his stay in Gwalior, he also paid tribute to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, by garlanding his statue on his death anniversary and visited Shabari Mata’s ashram in Ghatigaon village in Gwalior district.
