Expressing hope for an end to the ongoing farmers’ agitation against new farm laws, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday claimed that some people were protesting just for the sake of protest and it also showed their “vested political intent”.
Speaking to reporters after a pre-budget meeting with the Members of Parliament (MPs) of Haryana, the CM said the Central government is clearly of the view that the three agricultural laws are for the benefit of the farmers and will certainly boost the economic prosperity of the agricultural sector.
“Some people are protesting just for the sake of protest and it also shows their vested political intent. However, if through positive dialogue, any amendment in these laws is required, then the Central Government is and will always be ready for making the required amendments. I am hopeful that soon the issue would be resolved,” said the CM.
