Samyukt Kisan Morcha leaders say they are seeking withdrawal of the agriculture laws, not changes in them.
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a joint front of farmer unions, on Wednesday rejected the Union government’s offer of talks on the three farm laws, saying they were seeking the revocation of the legislations and not amendments. It urged the government to come out with concrete proposals showing an “open mind” and “good intentions” to resume the process of negotiation at the earliest.
