Bhartiya Udyog Vyapaar Mandal, president of Bhartiya Udyog Vyapaar Mandal said that traders and industrialists will not join the “senseless and anti-development” Bharat Bandh.
According to Ravi Kant Garg, national president of Bhartiya Udyog Vyapaar Mandal : “The bandh call by a handful of so-called farmers has been virtually sponsored by the opposition parties from the back door for their political gain and is anti-development and senseless besides being against the interest of traders,”
Over 200 million traders, industrialists, small industrialists from the MSME sector, shopkeepers and roadside vendors will not participate in the bandh.
Garg, also the president of UP Vyapaari Kalyan Board, said the agitation against the farm laws is merely a means to obstruct the growth of the country’s trade, economy, and industry.
In his view, the farm laws were passed by the central government in order to resolve issues faced by farmers and ensure that the agriculture sector grew.
“evil designs of vested interest and the opposition parties which want to revive their eroding base by bringing them on the forefront” Garg continued, appealing to the farmers to not get misled.
Garg stated : “Over 40 crore farmers of the country have been advised by the government to go through the bills, virtually a shot in the arm of farmers, and reject the call of vested interests as the country’s economy has already been suffering for over a year owing to the Covid pandemic,”
