Rahul Gandhi urges Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan to provide financial help to kin of farmer who committed suicide

Thiruvananthapuram: Congress chief and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi urged Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan to provide assistance to the family of a farmer who committed suicide allegedly due to non-repayment of loans, and also conduct an inquiry into the matter. [caption id=“attachment_5558081” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. News18 Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. News18[/caption] VD Dinesh Kumar, 53, died after consuming some poisonous substance, police said on 25 May. His relatives said that the financial burden had forced him to take the extreme step. Gandhi, in his letter to Pinarayi dated 28 May, said he was “deeply saddened” by the farmer’s suicide. He requested the state government to conduct an inquiry and extend financial support to the family. Police said that Kumar had taken a loan of Rs 10 lakh from three banks and was reportedly facing recovery proceedings. “Kumar’s case isn’t an isolated one. There has been a spate of farmer suicides in Wayanad, due to an inability to repay loans,” Gandhi had said in his letter. “What is disturbing is that while the government of Kerala has announced a moratorium on repayment of farm loans till 31 December 2019, yet farmers are still being pressured and hounded by loan collection agents,” the letter said. The Congress chief said it was important to consider “long-term measures” to free farmers from the “vicious debt trap” given the devastating impact of the last year’s floods. “I offer you my fullest support and cooperation in finding concrete long-term solutions to the critical issues Kerala’s farmers are faced with and in ensuring every farmer in Kerala lives a life of dignity,” Gandhi said.
