New Delhi, May 07 (ANI): After meeting with Farmers’ leaders, Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda on May 07, pushed for guaranteed and legal MSP (Minimum Support Price) for the farmers. “Farmers sat at border for one year. I have said from the beginning that the three laws are not in farmers' interest. I had said that if they bring 3 ordinances, they should bring the fourth too that if someone purchases at a price lower than MSP, they should be punished. Guarantee for MSP - be it procurement by the Government or purchase by a private entity, nobody should purchase at a price lower than MSP, it's their basic demand,” he said. The leader also said, “Centre must introduce ordinance for guaranteed MSP. I have listened to farmer leaders about the issues that the farmers face. I have taken suggestions from them. Our Chintan Shivir will take place, I have been appointed as the Convener to listen to the farmers and their issues. So, we will draft a concept paper and discuss.”
