The union leaders said the next course of action will be decided only after the tractor parade.
Farmer leaders held a marathon meeting on Saturday to reconsider the government s proposal to put the legislations on hold for 18 months, but no consensus could be reached.
This came a day after the government asked the farmer leaders to revert by Saturday in case they agree to its proposal to suspend the legislations. Since the beginning of our agitation, our demand is very clear. We want a complete repeal of these three laws, and we will not settle for anything less than the repeal of the new farm laws, Haryana Bharatiya Kisan Union chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni told PTI.

Haryana Bharatiya Kisan Union chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni on Saturday appealed to farmers and their supporters protesting the Centre s contentious farm laws not to oppose ministers or political leaders at Republic Day events in the state.
He, however, said farmers will continue opposing state ministers at rallies and events on other days. I would like to request that in Haryana if any minister or political leader comes to an event to unfurl the national flag on the occasion (of Republic Day), we don t have to oppose them, Chaduni said in a video message.
Disruption of any kind of Republic Day function will send out a wrong message , he said.
The SC lashed out at the Centre for failing to end the deadlock, and proposed the formation of an expert committee headed by a former Chief Justice of India to help find a resolution to the matter.
We welcome the Supreme Court observation, but ending the protest is not an option. Any stay is only for a fixed period of time, said Haryana Bharatiya Kisan Union president Gurnam Singh Chaduni
