Mr. Deputy Chairman, I share the concern, raised by the hon. Leader of the Opposition. I would like to read the last sentence of the hon. Minister’s statement. I read, “It will under no circumstances compromise the fundamental issues pertaining to food security, livelihood security and the welfare of its subsistence farmers and poor”. Excellent! But, the point is the Agreement itself subverts agriculture. When the Agreement itself subverts agriculture, then, why is our food security? It has just become a hollow platitude without any basis. So, I would like to know from the hon. Minister exactly what measures he is contemplating – of course, agriculture is not his subject; the Cabinet is responsible – to take to protect the interests of the Indian farming community. What measures have you taken to protect the interests of the Indian farming community so that they do not suffer from onslaught of Bali or any other Agreement?
Thank you, Sir.
