Asserting that it is necessary to continue the dialogue to resolve the deadlock over the new farm laws, Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on Thursday said the protesting farmer unions will attend the scheduled ninth round of talks with the government.
While the previous eight rounds of negotiations have failed to end the protests continuing for several weeks on various borders of the national capital, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said earlier in the day that the government is hopeful of positive discussions at Friday s scheduled meeting.
“The committee’s finding will have to be followed. Meanwhile, the protest will continue in a non-violent fashion and cannot endanger life or property. You cannot instigate violence too by police,” the bench said in oral observations. Although the court did not pass any specific order, it said experts such as journalist P Sainath and agricultural unions like the Bharatiya Kisan Union (one of the factions is a petitioner) could be members of the committee.
Solicitor General Mehta submitted to the court that other farmer unions were not present in court and may not share the views of the BKU.
