New Delhi: Last seven and a half hours of talks between the government and farmer leaders ended on agricultural laws. The talks are going to be held again with farmers on 5 December. It is being told that after the meeting last yesterday, the farmer leaders said, 'We are adamant on our old demand. The amendment is not acceptable to us. All three of us are adamant on repealing the law. There is no question of withdrawal of movement.'
As soon as the talks with the government were held, the spokesman of the Indian Farmers Union, Rakesh Tikait said, 'The government has indicated on the MSP. It seems that his stand on MSP will be fine. The talks have made little progress but the issue is to withdraw the laws completely. Not just one, but many issues will be discussed. The farmers want the laws to be withdrawn.' The government wants to talk about MSP and amendments in the Acts.
On the other hand, Harjinder Singh Tanda of Azad Kisan Sangharsh Samiti said, 'There has been little progress in negotiations. At half time it seemed that today's meeting would not yield any result, in the second half it seemed that the government was under pressure from the peasant movement. The talks were held in a conducive atmosphere. He also said, 'We are hopeful. The laws are wrong. We will put pressure on the government in the next meeting. They have to say that they will withdraw the laws. In my opinion, it will be finalized on the day of the meeting after tomorrow. '
