Tiwari said most of the political parties are shedding crocodiles tears over the insult of cotton farmer but they are not talking about finding solution to redress the hardships of the Vidarbha farmers. Presently most of the farmers who are committing suicides are victims of poverty and hunger that has resulted after the economic collapse in the Vidarbha region due ongoing agrarian crisis.
"We demand urgent step to provide food security and health care facilities to these dying farmers before making arguments over farm suicides being agrarian or non-agrarian. Now the time has come to give complete loan waiver and price protection on all agriculture produce from free trade in WTO era to Vidarbha dying farmers", Tiwari added.
On 2nd October cotton farmers protest rally will decide future course of action of agitation in order to get the main demands of farmers of higher procurement price to cotton and complete loan waiver and all farm activist in the region will decide the the action plan in order to slow down the farm suicide and to tackle vidarbha agrarian crisis ,kishor tiwari convener of this agitation informed in a press realease.

Hi,
I am a poor farmer from Wardha. My son Vijay was arrested in UK last week.
He allegedly was running fraudulent company. Is there a way I can help him ?
