Farmers forced to come out on streets for everything under BJP-JJP govt: INLD's Abhay Chautala
Chandigarh (PTI): Indian National Lok Dal leader Abhay Singh Chautala on Tuesday attacked the ruling BJP saying the farmers today are forced to come out on streets for everything, be it purchase of some crop, or loss of compensation for another.
The BJP-JJP coalition government has put the farmers in such a condition today that they are forced to block roads and agitate for everything, Abhay Chautala, the lone MLA from his party, said in Haryana Assembly here.
Whether it is about the purchase of sunflower, or about the purchase of mustard, or about the compensation for the loss of millet, they get no comfort from the government, he said.
Abhay Chautala in the assembly on Tuesday gave a 'Calling Attention' notice regarding the demand of compensation for the Kharif crop under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana.
He said the farmers have been sitting on a dharna in Chopta tehsil for insurance money due to them, but Agriculture Minister J P Dalal says the farmers have ended the strike, which is not true, he claimed.
Dalal in his turn claimed that since the beginning opposition leaders tried to mislead the farmers saying the Fasal Bima Yojana was "anti-farmer" but in truth thousands benefited from the scheme.
"This scheme is voluntary. Still, more and more farmers are opting for it. Had it not been in their benefit, why would they opt for it?" asked the Minister.
He said that the scheme is implemented in three clusters, with seven districts each in cluster I and II, and eight in cluster III.
He said under the scheme, the farmers' share of premium is 2 per cent of the total sum insured for Kharif crop, 1.5 per cent for Rabi, and 5 per cent for horticulture and commercial crops.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
