The South Asian: Dal Roti Out Of Stock, Besharam Sarkar

Dal Roti Out Of Stock, Besharam Sarkar

Ravinder Singh (povertyfree77ATyahooDOTcom) forwards this article in Outlook on India having to import pulses and writes on the irony of it.

Friends,
It’s a national shame that we are importing Dal since 1981 and have yet thought of addressing this problem. India is importing 4-5 MT of vegetable Oil annually for about 15 years.

But even more worrying is that even stocks have exhausted and we may be importing over 3 MT of wheat at nearly double the price paid to farmers. Rice stocks too are inadequate.

But besharam sarkar is too busy doling out concessions to Ambanis and thugs.

India’s protein in take is the lowest in the world. Moong, Tur and Urad cost Rs.60/- plus per kg.

Belonging to commission agent’s family, Manmohan is delighted, more shortage means more loot.

I can assure people of India, Punjab can meet entire shortfall in Pulses production. But need an assurance that Government Of India may give procurement guarantee of Rs. 40/- per kg.

It is the commission agents in league with GOI that are responsible for all “Hunger & Poverty” in India.
