Members of the Federation of Thamizhaga Vivasaya Sangangal on Wednesday sent money orders for Rs. 17 each, addressed to the Prime Minister at the Head Post Office, Thanjavur.
Disclosing this to the media, the federation’s State vice-president Sugumaran said that 15 farmers had sent money orders to the Prime Minister to register their protest against the income support scheme announced in the interim Budget.
“The Union government had failed to heed our demand of waiver of crop loans availed by farmers from the year 2016. And also it had turned a blind eye to the M.S.Swaminathan recommendations for enhancing income of farming community. Instead they had announced the annual support scheme which will work out to Rs. 17 per day,” he said.
