Farmers' Protests Continue as Key Groups Reject Supreme Court Committee

The farmers' protests at the Punjab-Haryana border continue, with key farmer groups refusing to engage with a Supreme Court-appointed committee.  

Here's a simple explanation:

What is happening? Farmers are still protesting at the Punjab-Haryana border over agricultural laws they believe are harmful.

What is the Supreme Court committee? A committee created by the Supreme Court to try and find a solution to the protests.

Why are the farmers refusing to meet with the committee? The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Political) and the Bharti Kisan Union (Ugrahan), important farmer organizations, have refused to participate. Only lower-ranking members of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) have met with the committee. This raises questions about how effective the committee can be without the participation of key groups.  

What are the farmers protesting about? Agricultural laws they believe threaten their livelihoods. They are demanding that these laws be repealed (cancelled).

When did the protests start? Over a year ago.

When was the committee formed? September 2, 2024.

What is the committee supposed to do?

  • Talk to the protesting farmers and address their concerns.

  • Help remove blockades on highways.

  • Examine the broader problems facing farmers.

Who is on the committee?

  • Justice (retd.) Nawab Singh (Chairman)

  • BS Sandhu  

  • Devinder Sharma  

  • Prof. Ranjit Singh Ghumman

  • Dr. Sukhpal Singh

What did the committee find in its first report (November 22, 2024)?

  • Problems like low crop yields, rising farming costs, and poor marketing systems are causing problems for farmers.

  • They suggested looking into legal protections for Minimum Support Prices (MSP) and providing direct income support to farmers.  

What is the committee working on now? Its second report, which will focus on increasing farm incomes and will include discussions on MSP. They are talking to agriculture officials and experts.  

Key points:

  • Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM): Has both political and non-political groups.

  • Justice (retd.) Nawab Singh: Former judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.  

  • Farmer Suicides: Over 4 lakh Indian farmers have died by suicide since 1995.

  • NABARD: National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (provides loans to farmers).  

  • First Report Length: 11 pages.  

In simple terms: Farmers are still protesting at the border, and they are refusing to work with a committee set up by the Supreme Court to solve the problem. The committee has released a first report about the problems farmers are facing and is working on a second report about how to increase their income. However, without the cooperation of key farmer groups, it's unclear how much the committee can achieve.
