1. Young farmer Jangsir Singh passed away today in Tikri border.
2. Talks with Farmer unions and the Indian Govt failed today. Govt agreed on 2 minor demands, but not on the important demands.
3. Agriculture Minister Tomar Media Address after today’s meeting – “Today’s Meeting was in good faith & both sides expressed an urge to resolve the issue. We talked on 4 point agenda of Unions and arrived at resolving 50% of the issues. The two ordinances (stubble & electricity) have been assured to be discarded by the Government. Unions are adamant on their demand of repeal of the laws, we tried to explain our part & how laws benefit most farmers. We are willing to resolve any issues in the laws wide amendments. Our position on MSP is clear & we reiterated same that it will stay like it is on. We urge them to send the old, women and children home because of cold weather”.
