Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Friday said that the Centre will present its side to the Supreme Court-appointed committee, when asked.
Earlier, the ninth round of talks between the Union government and farmers protesting against the three agricultural laws ended without any resolution. The next meeting was scheduled for January 19.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Lok Shakti) spokesperson Shailesh Kumar Giri said members of the Supreme Court-appointed panel of experts, known to support farm laws in the past, should follow Bhupinder Singh Mann and not be on the “wrong side of history”. Mann has recused himself from committee, saying he did not wish to compromise farmers’ interests.
