jalandhar kheti virasat mission executive director umendra dutt who has remained closely associated with rashtriya swayamsevak sangh rss and held offices in its sister organizations said branding farmers movement as that of urban naxals or khalistanis is highly problematic and misleading and rather reflects a narrow vision calling it a mass movement and awakening of punjab he has held that it is a manifestation of accumulated anger and frustration of punjab and needs to be handled with great sensitivity people of different ideologies have converged at the protests and there can be those who can be khalistanis or from ultraleft ideologies dutt said while talking to toi on mondayhe said he and other members of kheti virasat mission participated in the protest for three days we also served kodhare da dalia porridge of kodhara there he addeddutt who also remained editor of swadeshi the journal brought out by swadeshi jagran manch said they government could have held consultations within the sangh parivar bhartiya kisan sangh bhartiya mazdoor sangh and swadeshi jagran manch have been flagging issues on these laws and the government should have at least listened to them they would have never given an advice which would damage the government but would have kept it on the correct path as they work on ground toohowever it appears that laws have been drafted by the bureaucracy who cant think out of the box as they usually suffer from mental stagnation ministers apparently did not know these laws properly people involved in the agriculture sector could have been involved real experts are available who understand the policy issues while they also work at ground level and they would have brought more ideas to the table he said in fact a paradigm shift is required in model of agriculture but the new laws dont provide that the method to finalize these laws should have been more participatory and democratic as agriculture is a state subject and states have different conditions and there cant be one type of solution for all states and a much wider dialogue was required in place of locking the solutions it could have been left to the states to fine tune these said dutt he also argued that there should have been social and political consensus on these lawsthe farmers movement is also a manifestation of accumulated anger including the pain of 1984 operation blue star punjabi language issue chandigarh or river water issues but it is about punjab i had been feeling deep civilizational crisis in punjab but this agitation is social renaissance and it can even lead to building of a political alternative in the state held dutt who has been working with people from diverse ideologieswhen bitterness between punjabis and haryanvis has turned into bonhomie and punjab is feeling much energetic after this movement focus should be on reinventing our agriculture practices and other challenges confronting the state also and i want to see it as an organic state he added
