If the government is proposing to suspend the farm laws for 18-24 months, for whatever reason, rest assured the Shaheen Bagh fellows are going to crawl out of their ratholes and do whatever it takes to get CAA revoked. How and what made the government even propose this?
The government is not silly. It knows what kind of example this will set. They know the risks too, so the question arises is that why are they doing this? There can be several reasons for this.
One, to perhaps buy time to nab the troublemakers who have surfaced during the protests. Of course, the NIA has been working already but they can’t pick up leaders from the protest site. Track the funding sources, study the money trail. 1.5 years is a good enough period.
Mind you, the preparations at Singhu are quite elaborate. They have every kind of supplies one can think of. Someone has been quite generous to them for sure, and the government needs must find out who. Meanwhile, break the protesting unity from within.
Two, the government is sensing a law and order situation. We don’t know who’s the farmer and who’s the troublemaker. I have said this from day-1 that if the protesters were Hindus, this would have been over in a week, but our most minorities are more equal than our majorities.
BJP wouldn’t want to risk another riot like situation, as would any government, with Sikhs. It can get politically complicated and uncontrollable real quickly. Thus, buy some time, separate the troublemakers, and get going. Meanwhile, all BJP states implement the three laws.
The Supreme Court will also clear the stay on the implementation of the laws in the period, and the government will have no restriction then at least from the judiciary. The government says 18 months, but this may well easily extend to post-2024. Who knows!
With the SC already having stayed the implementation on the laws, it makes little sense for the government to entertain a bunch of anarchists on the border. Might as well take more time and neutralise the threat once and for all. BJP states must move ahead, however.
You got Karnataka, MP, UP, Gujarat, Haryana, Assam, Bihar, and Maharashtra and West Bengal too, hopefully soon, so move on with life there. Implement the laws in a new form. Encourage investments. Encourage growth in agri-incomes.
Punjab's farmers may think it's a cause to celebrate, but they would only fool themselves. 5-10-15 years down the lane, they are not going to have water to grow wheat and paddy, so not sure where they shall find their MSP from. I wrote about this recently.
Of course, I am mad AF, but trust the government. The question of what example they could set must have come to them too if it has to us. Trust the government, situation is complicated, politically, so let's trust the government. Surely, they won't back down on reform this big.
Again, all this is mere theory, but I want to trust the government's perspective over this proposal. Of course, for any of it to go through, the anarchists of Singhu have to agree as well.
