He further said, ‘We want to withdraw not only the suspension but also the return of the Agriculture Bill so that proper voting can be done on it. But nothing of this sort is going to happen because the Chairman does not agree to listen to anyone. ‘
He further said, ‘We have made three important demands in the Rajya Sabha on behalf of the Congress party. The first demand is that the government should introduce a new bill which ensures that no private company can buy any produce from farmers under MSP. Our second demand is that the MSP should be fixed in the country under the Swaminathan formula.
Our third demand is that the Government of India, the State Government, or the Food Corporation of India should ensure that their produce is purchased from the farmers at the prescribed MSP rate. Till these three demands are considered, we will boycott the proceedings of the House.
He also said that the fourth important thing that I have said in the Rajya Sabha is that we have requested that the eight MPs who have been suspended should be called back but this is our request and not the demand.
