Protest at the Singhu border on Wednesday.
Farmer unions, protesting at Delhi’s borders for nearly a month now against the new farm laws, said Wednesday that they have sent a letter to the Centre, stating they are open to talks, but the government must offer a concrete proposal first.
Reading out a letter sent by the farmer leaders, Swaraj India president Yogendra Yadav told the press at Singhu border: “We urge the government not to repeat those meaningless amendments which we have already rejected, but to come up with a concrete proposal in writing, so that can be made an agenda and the process of negotiation can be started as soon as possible.”
