The protest was followed by the submission of a memorandum to the President of India through the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Bali Chowki.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In the memorandum, the association condemned the current NDA 3-led central government for failing to adhere to democratic principles and called for immediate dialogue with farmer organizations addressing the real concerns of the agricultural community. They also referred to the Supreme Court\u2019s direction for the government to engage in discussions with farmers.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Mahender Rana, a member of Association stated that the Apple Growers\u2019 Association demanded the following actions from the government:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">1. Ensure the safety of farmer leader Jagjeet Singh Dallewal.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">2. Halt the crackdown on farmers heading to Delhi and stop the use of tear gas and rubber bullets.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">3. Release all farmers imprisoned in Gautam Budh Nagar&#8217;s Luksar Jail.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">4. Withdraw the National Agricultural Market Policy and review related agricultural reforms.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">5. Engage in immediate talks with farmer organizations to address longstanding demands, including MSP (Minimum Support Price), loan waivers, electricity privatization, and the implementation of the LARR Act of 2013.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The association also highlighted that the NDA 2 government had signed an agreement with the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) in 2021, agreeing to repeal three controversial agricultural laws, a commitment they claimed the NDA 3 government has violated.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The protestors further criticized the central government for continuing to implement corporate-driven policies, which they argue are undermining India&#8217;s food security and farmer welfare. They expressed concern over the growing corporate control over agriculture, citing significant cuts in food and fertilizer subsidies.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The delegation, including several prominent members of the Apple Growers&#8217; Association, called on the government to engage with the farmers, address the pressing issues, and ensure justice for those wrongfully accused in connection with recent protests.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Growers\u2019 Association Protests New Agricultural Market Policy in Himachal Pradesh, Submits Memorandum to President.
