    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Irrigation Bill. If there is anything that needs to be considered positively by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, it is about farmers. I want to assess whether the Irrigation Bill is friendly to the farmer or not. I know it will address some issues. One of the issues it will address is food security and economic matters. We all understand that irrigation enables a farmer to carry out effective farming in our country. As much as I want to support the Bill, I would like to have the Bill in the interest of farmers. There is the component of value addition. There will be no need to grow crops and we do not add any value to them. It is not going to help the farmer at all. We should ask ourselves why farmers do not get much yet every time we see them busy in their farms from morning to evening, from the beginning of the month to the end and from January to December. They are in a bad situation and are not able to take their children to school or buy themselves clothes. There are certain issues that have not been addressed in the Bill."
