Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said that a group of 30-40 farmers having factual knowledge about three farm laws should be constituted to spread awareness among their peer groups in each village.
"Rather than agitating against the farm laws, every farmer should be well versed about the benefits of these laws so that those who are trying to spread misinformation and mislead them should fail to attain their vested interests", Khattar said while meeting representatives of farmers' organizations here. He also suggested that if needed, training of the farmers to get ample knowledge about these farm laws should be done so that the farmers after getting well versed about these farm laws can further spread awareness about the benefits of these laws and ensure that they are not misled by anyone.
The delegation led by Bharatiya Kisan Union Haryana State leader Guni Prakash submitted a letter of support to the Chief Minister on the farm laws and said that from day one the real farmers are in favour of these legislations.
The delegation included farmers from various districts including Kaithal, Yamunanagar, Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal.
The Chief Minister said that the State Government is committed to safeguarding the interest of farmers and farming community and several steps have been taken in this direction. On this occasion, the delegation also invited the Chief Minister to attend a progressive farmers' programme as chief guest that is likely to be held at Kurukshetra.
