Pro-Free Trade Farm Leader Sharad Joshi Now Supports Bharat
Swabhiman Andolan of Baba Ramdev
Nagpur
-August 3, 2012
Maharashtra’s Shetkari Sanghatana
led by former MP Sharad Joshi who is
strong supporter of liberalization and blind advocate of MNCs instrumental to get
India signed GATT in 1990s has announced his support Yoga
Guru Baba Ramdev in their agitation against corruption and black money in New
Delhi from August 9.
‘We are surprised as Yoga Guru
Baba Ramdev's Bharat Swabhaman Andolan is completely against Globalization and
role of MNCs which are mainly responsible for 2 lakh 70 thousand farmers
suicides after India opened signed with WTO allowing these MNCs to take of over agriculture and
market . if group who are supporting these policies and
technologies who are killing the farmers and instrumental for generation of black money in India then fate
of such anti-graft agitation will be sealed and likely to be restricted to the agenda of 2014 National Election
which is most unfortunate hence we urge Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev not to allow such
leaders who are against the farmers’ and nation at large ’ Kishore Tiwari of
Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti (VJAS) informed in press release today.
Recently at a press conference
here on 13th march 2012 Sharad
Joshi Joshi, along with Dr C D Mayee, former director of Nagpur-based Centre
for Indian Cotton Research ( CICR) and Association of Bt-Led Enterprise (ABLE),
an organization backed by companies making Bt seeds including US-based Monsanto
after parliament committee toured the country on the directions of Lok Sabha
speaker and went back with largely negative feedback about the genetically
modified BT cotton seed from Vidarbha strongly supported Bt.cottom seed and GM
technology and wrote to PMO as well as Lok Sabha speaker quoting Farm
suicides are being wrongly linked with the use of Bt cotton and Bt.cotton seed has
only helped improve the farmers' condition with high yields but his association
with MNCs known to Govt. ignored letters and shown it to dustbin, Tiwari added.
“The on going agitation focusing
corruption and Black money ,has put all socioeconomic issues related to pro-poor and pro-farmer policies and even
media focus has been shifted from crore
national issues to single point agenda of anti graft regulator hence now it’s high time
to start working poverty and hunger and saving 3 billion farm families who are dying due to free market and MNCs menace
hence this appeal ,Tiwari said.
