00:00 After the discussion between the farmers and the central government on Monday night,
00:05 the farmers of Punjab and Haryana have started to move to Delhi.
00:09 All the borders have been sealed to prevent the farmers from entering the capital.
00:14 Apart from this, at the borders of Delhi,
00:16 many levels of opposition, concrete breakers, iron bricks and container walls have been placed
00:21 to make strong arrangements for security.
00:24 At the three borders of the capital, Sindhu, Tikri and Gajipur,
00:30 the police and military forces have been deployed in large numbers.
00:34 And in some places, permanent jails have also been established.
00:39 Let me tell you that this time the movement is different compared to the last time.
00:45 This time the farmer movement is different in many ways compared to the last time,
00:49 that is, the movement that took place in the year 2021.
00:53 Because this time the demands of the farmers are also different and their leadership is also different.
00:57 Last time, the farmer movement was against the agricultural laws and they were successful in it
01:02 because the government had taken back these laws and promised to guarantee MSP.
01:07 But now the farmers say that the promises made by the government about MSP have not been fulfilled.
01:14 So this time, let me tell you what the demands of the farmers are.
01:17 The main demand is to make a law guaranteeing the lowest support value for crops.
01:21 That is, the value of all crops should be based on the recommendations of Dr. Swaminathan Aayog and sugarcane should be included in it.
01:27 On the other hand, the farmers should be given a pension of Rs 10,000 per month after the age of 7 years.
01:33 In addition, the criminals of the Lakhimpur Kheri case should be punished in October 2021.
01:38 Now let's understand what will happen if the law is passed on MSP.
01:42 The government will have to pay the prices of crops at a fixed minimum support value on MSP.
01:47 And if the law is passed on MSP, the government will not be able to buy crops at a lower price than the MSP.
01:54 If a farmer buys a crop at a lower price, it will be a legal crime.
01:58 But as soon as the law is passed on MSP, the burden on the government treasury will also increase.
02:02 In 2022-23, the government spent Rs 2.28 lakh crores on MSP.
02:07 And if the law is passed on MSP, this expense will increase to Rs 17 lakh crores.
02:13 Let's also see what is the procedure for buying crops on MSP.
02:18 The government pays MSP on 22 crops of Ravi Kharif.
02:21 The work of paying MSP is done by the Commission for Agriculture, Cost and Prices.
02:25 And the government pays MSP on its recommendation.
02:28 Almost 7% of the farmers in the country get the benefit of MSP.
02:33 On the other hand, the security personnel of the Delhi Coach of the farmers have been instructed
02:39 to stop the farmers from entering Delhi in any case with a tractor-trolley.
02:44 Almost 18,000 security personnel are stationed at the Sindhu-Gajipur-Tikri-Chilla border.
02:49 There is strict protection of 7 layers at each border.
02:52 Apart from the Delhi Police, rapid action force, CISF, BSF soldiers have also been stationed.
02:57 And to stop the farmers, force has also been stationed along with tear gas, sticks and bodyguard kit.
03:04 There are more women security personnel at the front layer of the border.
03:08 Here, the drone is being used to keep an eye on the surrounding roads.
03:12 And this time, soldiers have been given anti-tear gas masks while learning from the last time.
03:17 Because last time, the farmers had thrown the tear gas bullets back at the police.
