Support of political parties towards 'Bharat Bandh' is hypocrisy: Prakash Javadekar

Javadekar took to Twitter to take a jibe at the Congress.

"The Congress led UPA government was the one that had brought the law to end the APMC. States ruled by these parties were the ones where contract farming was implemented. This exposes their hypocrisy," he posted.

He added ''I want to say it again that the MSP given to the farmers was and will continue to be there. It is for the past 55 years that the farmers are getting benefits of MSP, and the same will continue in the future. The welfare of country's farmer is our government's vision.''

Meanwhile, the meeting between the representatives of the agitating farmers and Union Home Minister Amit Shah that took place late on Tuesday evening remained inconclusive. However, the Government will give a fresh proposal on Wednesday to the farmers’ union representatives.

After a two and half hour long deliberation between the two sides, Kisan Mahasabha leader Hannan Mulla told mediapersons that the Government will give a fresh proposal to the farmers tomorrow which the farmers' unions and all involved sections will deliberate upon in a meeting that will be held at 12 noon at the Singhu border.

Mulla added that that the proposed sixth round of meeting between the Government and farmers has been deferred and that they will fix a new date after going through the new proposal of the Government.
