Author: Riaz Ahmed 

Every year, Punjab government buys wheat from the farmers at the purchase centers established through the wheat purchase campaign, for which the federal government sets the support price. They have to face numerous problems from bardana to loading and unloading and by harassing them unnecessarily and taking more wheat from them by increasing or decreasing the measurements because the farmers are such a kind. There is a class that has never received government patronage in 75 years and the rulers always treat farmers as second-class citizens and at the same time they do not treat them well, even if they go to any government office, they consider them as their raw material. It is said that this man has come and it is difficult for him to take it one way or the other because even in the literacy rate this Kashkar has been far behind since the creation of Pakistan, so neither any government has Worked to provide them with maximum opportunities for education, this has not been done in practice, but teachers in primary and middle schools in rural areas also hesitate to go, besides there are no access roads in these areas. For example, in our district Leh, all the villages in the 65 north-south belt of the Indus River have no communication roads, due to which the farmers could not raise their standard of living and there is also a lack of high schools anyway. Ka Shatkar does not have enough strength that first he drops out in the primary portion and in matriculation he reaches fifty percent drop out and after that only 30 percent is left for colleges. Sometimes the government will reduce the support price and sometimes it will increase, besides that, an order has been issued specially by the Punjab government that the farmers should follow it strictly, otherwise cases will be registered against them. Why should they ban this order because nothing is given back to them from the taxes they pay, but whenever the opportunity to purchase DAP fertilizer comes, the government administration stands with the fertilizer dealer and they They loot the farmers at will, then in the second stage, the need for urea fertilizer is felt, then the fertilizer dealers, factory owners get together and the government accepts their demands. These handful of people have taken the farmers hostage. The government is also behind them, but no one stands with the farmers who are the guarantors of food security in such a large number, neither the government stands with them nor the local politicians ever raise their voice in the assemblies that they are victimized. can change their condition and give them an opportunity to stay in their homes and change their lifestyle. They are living on the same even today, neither they can wear proper clothes nor build houses. Yes, and the wastes get damaged due to storms and rains, then no assistance money is given for them, nor is there any insurance for them, then the assistance price is so low that instead of only Behind these handfuls and the business class benefit the artisans and merchantsThe government remains and they take wheat from farmers arbitrarily. If a farmer keeps more than 25 maunds in his house, a case is registered against him. If they are kept, nothing is said to them, only for photo sessions and as a pretense, the administrative officers conduct a few raids to inform the government, these gorams are sealed, but later it is known that the seal is also attached and here Wheat, sugar flour has been taken from, on which no cases are registered, nor has it ever been seen that anyone has been punished. Farmers are always worried, in hot and cold weather, standing in lines and taking fertilizer. Fake fertilizer is the same. Fake agricultural drugs are destined for him and when his crop is ready, that government order is also hanging over his head like a sword that if he does not follow it then against him. Criminal cases will be registered Security guarantor Government should enact effective legislation to give victims their rightful place and give farmers equal rights beyond the way they are dealing with fertilizer dealers They can put the economy of the country on their own feet by working hard and dedicatedly and producing gold from the soil. Governments always make it easy for all people by treating them equally and by relaxing the laws to give them a better place, just as ordinary citizens are bound by the government’s claim of equal rights. In the same way, the farmers should be given their rightful place and they should be given a better place considering them as guarantors of food security and not such decrees.Governments always make it easier for all people by treating them equally and improve their position by relaxing the laws. They should be given a legitimate position and should be given a better position considering them as guarantors of food security and not such decrees.Governments always make it easier for all people by treating them equally and improve their position by relaxing the laws.

There are such rulers, the support and counseling of the farmers should always be issued after mutual decisions with the woman and them so that they do not get heartbroken and the law also does its work. Whenever it has been proved that extortion is being done by traders and middlemen, it is the responsibility of the Punjab government to legislate against it and punish them severely by making a law against it and also on sacks kept in flour mills. If it is made, how many sacks can be stored, if it is more than that, then they should also be restricted that they cannot store more wheat than this, but it should be in the storage of the Punjab government.
