He also asked the PM to provide a compensation of Rs. 1 crore to the kins of deceased farmers and all ‘false’ FIRs against them should be quashed immediately.
“It is my humble request to you that while expressing condolences to the families of our farmer brothers and sisters who were martyred in the movement, a compensation of Rs 1 crore each be announced for them. Furthermore, all politically motivated false FIRS that have been registered as weapons of harassment against our farmers during this movernent must immediately be quashed,” the letter reads.
On the issue of MSP, Varun Gandhi wrote, “The second demand of the farmers relates to making MSP legally binding. There are more than 85 percent small and marginal farmers in our country. For the empowerment of these farmers, we have to ensure that they get remuneralive prices for their crops.”
He also demanded strict action againsts the culprits of the Lakhimpur-Kheri incident saying, “Many leaders sitting in senior positions have given provocative statements against our agitating farmers. It is the result of such statements and the adversarial atmosphere created around the ‘movement, that on October 3, five of our farmer brothers were crushed to death by vehicles in Lakhimpur-Kheri. This heartbreaking incident is a blemish on our democracy. It is my request to you that ‘appropriately strict action is taken against the Union Minister who has been connected to this incident, so that there is a fair enquiry.”
