Discussions between farmer unions and the Karnal administration were inconclusive, farmer leaders said after hundreds of farmers poured into the city for a mahapanchayat to demand action against government officials and cops involved in the August 28 lathicharge. 

An eleven-member delegation that led the talks said they were leaving for the grain market, where other protesters had gathered. They would decide their next course of action there, a leader said.  The delegation has presented a memorandum of their demands to the Karnal Deputy Commissioner at the secretariat.

In the memorandum, the farmers have reiterated strict action against the IAS officer who ordered a lathi charge against the protesting farmers on August 28, compensation to the wounded persons along with the kin of Sushil Kajal, a farmer from Gharunda who received head injuries in the lathi charge and died later due to heart attack.

The delegation was led by political activist Yogendra Yadav, farmer protest leader Rakesh Tikait and a member of Karnal-based Bhartiya Kisan Union leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni, BKU president Balbir Singh Rajewal, BKU (Sidhupur) state president member Jagjit Singh Dallewal, Ajay Rana, Dr Darshan Pal along with other farmer leaders.
