As six union ministers held a press conference over the 2 farm bills and the ensuing ruckus in the Rajya Sabha, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh re-iterated that passage of the bills does not mean end of MSP system or APMC. He also added that there was an attempt to mislead the farmers of the country.
"The two bills are historic for farmers and the agriculture sector. With their implementation, income of farmers will increase. But misunderstanding is being spread among farmers that MSP and APMC are being ended. The truth is that when these bills come into force,the farmers will be free to sell their produce in any market of the country. Neither APMC is being ended nor MSP," Singh said.
