NEW DELHI: In a bid to safeguard the interests of farmers and to also uphold the right to citizens to free movement, the Supreme Court on Wednesday stepped in to find away out of deadlocked negotiations on the contentious farm laws between the Centre and the agitating farm unions and said it would form a committee with representatives from all stakeholders.
“We will form a committee to resolve this dispute. It will include representatives of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), other agitating farmer bodies, Union government and even representatives from other farmers’ unions from across the country. If not resolved early, it will soon become a national issue,” said a bench of Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian.
