The farmers protesting against the three agriculture reform laws showed no signs of going back on their decision to take out a tractor rally on the Republic Day on the Ring Road even as the Government maintained its stance with the Agriculture Minister Narender Singh Tomar saying “anything but repeal of the laws can be considered”, and a member of the Supreme Court-appointed expert committee recused himself.
PTI reported that the Supreme Court may take up the pleas relating to the three farm laws on Monday in the context of the recusal of Bhupinder Singh Mann from the four-member panel set up to resolve the impasse.
