Today, I landed upon the #ContractFarming law which is much talk of the town, opposed in #FarmersProtests by Tikait Gang and politicians like @Akali_Dal_. They say they are on streets because they are fearful of #AmbaniAdani taking over their land. Let us understand.
Is this the first time that Contract Farming has been introduced in Indian Farming? #FarmersProtests . In 2013, Akali Dal Government passed Punjab Contract Farming laws. And @RakeshTikaitBKU had no problem then because he was not getting money from fanatics.
The law was passed on 16th April 2013. named #Punjab Contract Faming Act. No one came on roads, not one camped outside Chandigarh. Why? There was no money for imported tents, no legal aid from Gurudwaras (controlled by Akalis) no money from #Khalistanis.
Dispute Resolution:
2013 Act #Punjab: Commission (State Capital)
Fee: 50% of Amount under dispute
Further avenue: None

In New #FarmBills2020: SDM (Local Level),
Further avenue- YES
FEE: ZERO
Which one is unfair to the farmer and convenient? #FarmersProstests
In case of unfair judgement of Commission under 2013 #Punjab Contract Farming Act (Akali Dal):
Farmer can approach: NO Court
Under the New #FarmBills2020
Courts.
Which bill @RakeshTikaitBKU has problem with?? Why?
What if the #Farmer or the Buyer, is in contravention of this #Punjab #ContractFarming Act of 2013:
Buyer: Simple Imprisonment of 1 Month and fine between 1 to 10L
Farmer: Simple Imprisonment of 1 M and fine betn 5k to 5L.
Did @Akali_Dal_ not care about #Farmers ?
Do we have the provision for imprisonment of #Farmers in new #FarmBills2020? NO
Was the provision there in the 2013 #FarmBill for #ContractFarming in earlier bill? YES
What could be the reason of no protest?
- #Khalistanis not in play, no money
- #Antifa model not yet tested
Was there MSP in 2013 Contract Farming Bill? NO
Is there MSP in new #FarmBills2020 ? NO
Was there Govt Assurance earlier? NO
Is there Govt Assurance on #MSP Now? YES
Was there a protest then? NO
Is there a protest now? YES #FarmersProtests
Here is the Panelty provision in the new Law:
What was the payment guideline in #AkaliDal #Punjab Contract Farming Act of 2013:
Timeline: 30 Days.
In the New #FarmBills2020
Timeline: 3 Days
When the poor farmer sells, he wants payment sooner or Later? SOONER
Which bill is better? Why are there #FarmersProstests ?
Now think. Are these genuine #FarmersProtests? Did @RakeshTikaitBKU or @_YogendraYadav not bother about farmers in 2013 because they were not getting #Antifa Support or #khalistan funds? THINK. #IndiaFirst
