In a letter to the Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, around 1.20 lakh farmers from Haryana have shown their support for the new farm laws and appealed that they shouldn't be withdrawn.
The farmers associated with the farmer's producer organisations (FPOs) of Haryana have written a letter supporting the farm laws amid protest on the Delhi border by farmers of Punjab and Haryana.
The farmers in their letter to the Union Agriculture Minister said, "We, farmers associated with 70,000 FPOs of Haryana and more than 50,000 progressive farmers, support the three farm laws brought by the Government of India."
Requesting to include the amendments suggested by the farmer organisations, they have asked to continue the MSP system. The organisation has asked the government to also listen to the worries of the farmer organisations protesting against the farm laws.
The farm laws enacted by the government are Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
Farmers associated with various farmers' organisations of Punjab, Haryana and other parts of the country are protesting on the borders of the national capital since November 26 demanding withdrawal of these laws. Five rounds of meetings have been held between the government and the farmers' organisations and the next round of meeting is scheduled for December 9.
