Rahul Gandhi urges Kerala CM to take urgent steps for resolving economic crisis of farmers
Wayanad, May 31 (UNI) AICC President Rahul.Gandhi urged Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to take urgent steps in resolving the economic crisis of farmers that led to their suicides.
In a letter to Pinarayi, Gandhi said it was again the financial crisis faced by the farmers in general that has led to the suicide by V D Dinesh Kumar, a farmer in Panamaram, very recently.
The farmers commit suicide in fear of their piling debts.
But such unfortunate incidents happen in Kerala, even as the Government had proclaimed a morotorium on loan repayment, till December. There should be an enquiry into the cause that made Dinesh Kumar commit suicide, the Congress President said.
The Government should consider extending every possible way including financial support to Dinesh Kumar's family, Mr Gandhi said, adding that he and his party will extend all support in ensuring the farmers a life with dignity.
