Rahim Yar Khan (Bureau Chief Jahangir Hussain) The country’s biggest mafia, the sugar mill owners, are exploiting the farmers and farmers are badly affected due to the lack of increase in sugarcane prices. The sugar mafia is a bigger bandit than the raw material. After phased elimination of all agricultural commodities, now the right to sugarcane harvest is also being snatched from the farmers. In the current market situation and the current sugar prices in the country, the price of our sugarcane harvest is at least Rs 1200 per maund, but the sugar mill owners have forced the farmers to pay very low rates. These owners are billionaires who are bent on making money by robbing us. If the sugarcane rates are not increased, the farmers will protest and sit-in outside the sugar mills and launch a protest movement across the country. We appeal to Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir to save the country’s agriculture sector. These views were expressed by Chairman Kisan Bachao Tehreek Pakistan Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin while holding a press conference at the District Press Club along with Chairman All Pakistan Kisan Foundation Syed Mahmoodul Haq Bukhari, District President of Kisan Ittehad Mian Abdul Samad, District President of Pakistan Kisan Ittehad (Khalid Khokhar Group) Hafiz Abu Bakar Tausif, General Secretary Kisan Bachao Tehreek Pakistan Aamir Ani, farmer leaders Abdul Jalil Bandisha, Abrar Ahmad Saleemi, Jam Umair and other farmers. Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin said that the farmer stands for the right to sell his hard-earned harvest at a fair price. If the sugar mill owners do not do justice to the farmers and do not increase the sugarcane prices, then we will not be limited to protesting only at the local level. We will launch an organized protest movement across the country, hold sit-ins outside the sugar mills and raise our voice in every district so that the rights of the farmers can be ensured. We will not remain silent anymore and will take every possible step for the real reward of our hard work. All the leaders jointly said that the sugarcane farmers are under severe financial pressure and the government and the concerned authorities should immediately take steps to protect the rights of the farmers. The price of sugarcane should be fixed at Rs. 600. He warned that the farmers’ movement is ready to take more stringent measures if the price of sugarcane is not increased appropriately. Farmers are in distress and are being forced to sell their sugarcane at a pittance. The government and the relevant authorities should immediately take steps to protect the rights of farmers. He warned that the farmers’ movement is ready to take more stringent measures if the price of sugarcane is not increased appropriately.
