The farmer unions and the government held the ninth round of talks today, which turned out to be inconclusive and the next date that has been decided to resume the discussion is January 19. Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said, “Today’s talks with farmers unions were not decisive. We are positive to reach a solution through talks. The government is concerned about the farmers protesting in cold conditions.”
The three laws were discussed in detail today, as well as two new amendments in the three laws. There were no breakthroughs in today’s talks but the Centre seems hopeful. Rakesh Tikait, BKU spokesperson said, “Our demands of repealing of the three farm laws & MSP guarantee remain. We will not go to the Committee constituted by the Supreme Court. We’ll talk to Central Government only”.
