NEW DELHI/BATHINDA: The group of 40 protesting farmers’ unions, which earlier participated in talks with the Centre, unanimously decided on Tuesday to respond to its proposal for further talks on Wednesday, marked across the country as ‘Kisan Diwas’, and reiterate their demand of repeal of the three new agri laws.
“We aren’t averse to discussions on broad farm reforms if the Centre puts repeal of the laws on its agenda. That’s our core demand and we won’t compromise on it,” Punjab president of Krantikari Kisan Union, Darshan Pal, told TOI after their meeting. “We’ve decided to send our formal reply, explaining our position on each point in detail,” Pal said.
