Punjab: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday said his government will offer employments to a family member of the seventy six farmers who died during the protest against three farm laws on Delhi borders.

Addressing the twentieth edition of 'AskCaptain' live session on social media site Twitter, the Chief Minister lashed the central government for bringing the amendments in farm sector laws 'without a discussion in Parliament'.

"I have received a report that 76 farmers have passed away during the protest against three farm laws. Today, I announce that we will provide government jobs to a family member of those from Punjab who lost life in agitation at Delhi borders," he said.

"Is there a Constitution in this country? Agriculture is a state subject under Schedule 7. Why did the Centre change it without a discussion in Parliament? They passed it in Lok Sabha as they have more members. In Rajya Sabha, it was passed in chaos as they sensed things can go wrong," he added.

A stalemate persisted as the eleventh round of discussion between the representatives of protesting farmers and Central Ministers reached an end on Friday. During the meeting, the government told farmer unions that they can come "if they have a better proposal", otherwise they should reconsider its proposal to postpone the implementation of laws for around one-and-half years.

However, the agitating farmer unions on Thursday had rejected the proposal to put new farm laws on hold for about 18 months and insisted on their demand for the repeal of the three laws. Surjeet Singh Phul, state president of BKU Punjab said after the meeting that no date has been fixed for the next round of negotiations.
