New Delhi, Dec 1: The government has no record of the farmers who had died during the farmers’ protests and hence there was no question of providing compensation to their families, the Parliament was informed on Wednesday. “The ministry of agriculture and farmers welfare has no record in the matter and hence the question does not arise,” the Union ministry of agriculture told the House in reply to a question on whether it proposes to provide financial assistance to the kin of farmers who died during the agitation. On the other hand, opposition leaders and protesting farmer unions have said that over 700 farmers lost their lives while protesting against the contentious agri laws at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders since November 2020.
