Heed Farmers’ Voices and Protect their Interests at WTO

The All India Kisan Sabha has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on June 9, suggesting what India’s response should be at the upcoming Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organisation that is scheduled to take place in Geneva from June 12-15. The letter urged the government to articulate the interests of farmers and the masses of India, at the meeting. A copy was also sent to the minister of commerce and industry, and the minister of agriculture and farmers’ welfare. Below we publish the text of the letter.

Corporate Biased Recommendations of SC Appointed Committee on Farm Acts

THE All India Kisan Sabha, in a statement issued on March 22, has strongly condemned the recommendation by the Supreme Court appointed committee to bring back the three Farm Acts. AIKS would like to highlight the fact that the members of the SC appointed committee were known for their strong faithfulness to the three Farm Acts unilaterally brought by the union government. That is why the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) had called for boycotting the SC appointed committee.

Harmful Recommendation

THE All India Kisan Sabha, in a statement issued on March 20, has condemned the recommendation by the Standing Committee on Food, Consumer Affairs and PDS headed by the Trinamul Congress MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay to implement the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020. This recommendation is in ‘letter and spirit’ against the farmers and masses of our country and is an insult to farmers and the nearly 300 martyrs of the historic united kisan struggle.

AIKS Condemns PM's Odious Statement

THE AIKS, in a statement issued on February 8, has strongly condemned the statement by prime minister Narendra Modi who has insulted the protesting farmers as 'Andolan Jeevis', and 'parasites' and demands its immediate withdrawal and apology for his derogatory remarks in parliament.

AIKS said that this insult comes from a 'corporate jeevi'  prime minister whose RSS was never a part of the glorious 'andolan' of the people of India against the slavery of British rule.

Who is Spreading lies? Modi, not the Kisans: AIKS

AIKS CONDEMNS the prime minister’s resort to lies and deceit to deliberately mislead Indian farmers about Kerala agriculture and role of the Left Democratic Front government. His comments expose his ignorance about Kerala’s agriculture, this was stated by the AIKS in a press release issued on December 26.  The prime minister is either misled by his advisors or is deliberately resorting to deceit to mislead people of India. Modi has raised a question “there are no APMCs and mandis in Kerala. So, why are there no protests in Kerala? Why don't they start a movement there?”
