While responding to queries  regarding the ongoing farmers’ agitation, Mr. Manohar Lal said that the Central Government is clearly of the view that the three Agricultural laws are for the benefit of the farmers and will certainly boost the economic prosperity of the agricultural sector. Some people are protesting just for the sake of protest and it also shows their vested  political intent.  However, if through positive dialogue, any amendment in these laws is required, then the Central Government is and will always be ready for making the required amendments.
