Irked by curbs on milk, cotton and sugar exports, Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar has shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stating that the government’s policies are hurting farmers who are being asked to subsidise the industry.
Mr Pawar wrote to the Prime Minister on Tuesday, a day after a group of ministers disallowed cotton export beyond 13 million bales for the current marketing year.
