A farmer union leader has called for the Indian government to hold a special session of Parliament to discuss and pass a bill that would ensure a minimum support price (MSP) for 23 crops. The leader’s demand comes after the protesting farmers dismissed the government’s proposal for a 5-year agreement on MSP procurement of pulses. The farmers have been protesting for months, demanding better prices for their produce and reforms in the agricultural sector. They believe that setting a guaranteed MSP will help protect their incomes and provide them with financial security. The special session of Parliament would provide an opportunity for the government and the farmers to discuss and address these issues comprehensively.
