DMK calls meeting of allies to decide course of action against Centre farmers bills

  • | Saturday | 19th September, 2020

Stalin, accusing the AIADMK of "talking lies in a high pitch", said the ruling party`s "drama" would end in about six months with the Assembly elections scheduled for next year (April-May), and exuded confidence of his party capturing power. Stalin had on Friday said the new bills would sound a "death knell" to farmers.

The DMK has started planning to launch a campaign to strongly register their protest against the three farm bills brought in by the Modi government.

The DMK on Saturday announced a meeting of its allies in Chennai on September 21 to deliberate on the next course of action over farm bills that were adopted by the Lok Sabha, alleging these would lead to hoarding of agricultural produce by corporates.

 The bills would "lead to hoarding of farm produce by the corporates and adversely affect the support price," DMK chief M K Stalin alleged adding, farmers were protesting across the country since the move by the Centre was "against" them.

Stalin hit out at the AIADMK for supporting the Centre on the issue and mocked Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami for claiming to be a farmer and yet backing the bills. The AIADMK regime`s support "proved" that it was "subservient" to the Centre, Stalin alleged in a letter to party cadres.

The meeting of allies, scheduled to be held at "Anna Arivalayam" on Monday will be chaired by party president Stalin. The Congress, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, the Indian Union Muslim League and the Left parties are among the allies of the DMK.
