Amid a stalemate in the Centre-farmer talks, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday said that the protesting farmers are willing to hold discussions with the Centre.
Despite numerous rounds of Centre-farmer talks failing to break the deadloch between the two sides, protesting farmers have made it clear that they are still open for talks with the government.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella organisation consisting of numerous farm unions, that is currently spearheading the agitation against the Centre s three agriculture laws said on Saturday that there was no question of closing the door on talks with the government.
This comes amidst the protesting farm unions announcing their decision to intensify their stir at the Ghazipur border outside the national capital. Farmers observed a day-long fast on Saturday to mark Martyrs’ Day and vowed to continue with their stir.
The farmers unions participated in the discussion and gave their frank opinion including suggestions to improve the implementation of Acts, a statement said.
