10 Farmers' groups approved amendments in Farm Laws.

Ten Farmers' groups side with Centre on Farm Laws.

As the protests and outrage of farmers surge on the borders of National Capital, a new group of 10 Farmers' Union extended their support to the central government this monday, agreeing to the amendments issued by the Centre in farm laws. The strikes have tightened the grip in Delhi, blocking the key entrances to the city and causing serious difficulties to commuters. As the protesters continued to stay firm on their demands, some groups seem to have made peace with the forwarded amendment.

Under the name of All India Kisan Coordination Committee (AIKCC), the farmers hailing from states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana have expressed their consent on implementation of these laws after meeting with Union Agriculture Minister, Narendra Singh Tomar at his office. The farmers in a written statement agreed to stand by the government's proposal to amend three laws which were being protested against by the farmers since November 26.

The AIKCC group appealed to over thousand farmers sitting in demonstration under the leadership of 32 farmer unions, to come together and support the government's decision of September 2020. The proposal was centred around amending three laws namely-The Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020 and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020. Farmers tagged these as "laws to thrash independence on agriculture and food security, establishing monopoly over farm's produce."

The AIKCC said, "modern infrastructure is necessary for development in current farming scenarios and worn out methods are unable to assist the enforcement of new laws." The farmers believe that these laws will bring a revolution scraping down of the old techniques, increasing the yield. Agriculture Minister after the meeting took to his twitter handle conforming the farmers compliance with the new laws and unneeded withdrawal of these laws. Tomar also said that the farmers agreed that the protests are politically manipulated and motivated.
