Ghanwat’s Committee submitted a report on the three controversial farm laws that Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced would be repealed in November 19.
Maharashtra’s Shetkari Sanghatana leader reached Delhi Monday to meet with Ashok Gulati, an agriculture economist.

He said that the Committee would decide later whether to make this report public.
P.K.was the third member of the three-member panel, which the Supreme Court appointed.Joshi was appointed in January 2012, while remaining within the farm laws.After extensive multi-stakeholder consultation, the Committee submitted its report in March.
The report was not made public or used by the apex court.Ghanawat, who had written in September to then Chief Justice India to request the release of the report to enable the government to use its recommendations to resolve the farmer agitation that was becoming increasingly violent.
After his September letter to the Supreme Court, this is Ghanwat’s second.
Ghanwat explained that his team and he never intended to pit farmers against farmers, and thus never went to the streets.
However, the PM had announced that they would be repealing the laws and that we could go to the streets in case of emergency.
We don’t wish to disrupt Delhi.
Ghanwat stated that we will send at most a thousand farmers who are truly concerned and support agricultural reforms.
Ghanwat commented on Samyukt Kisan Morcha’s request to legalize Minimum Support Price (MSP), along with cancelling three laws.He said that “MSP [is not] the solution, and it cannot be.” Farmers must diversify.Take a look at Maharashtra’s progressive farmers – they are involved in dairy, fisheries and poultry.
He said that technology freedom and trade liberty should be a boon to farmers, as opposed to the current practice of government price regulation through import bans or export bans.
Advisor Sanjeev Sabhlok stated, “We need an Agriculture Policy.We need a whitepaper on the topic with more consultation.”
