Bhopal, March 8 -- Rajya Sabha Member and Madhya Pradesh's erstwhile chief minister, Digvijaya Singh, today demanded putting an end to the alleged injustice being meted out to the state's basmati farmers by immediately giving a geographical indication (GI) tag to the rice grown in 14 districts.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Singh pointed out that the cultivators have been making the demand for many years but as no solid step has been taken in that direction, the tillers are not receiving the proper price for their yield.
