Farmer Leader Insist On Scrapping Of Agri Legislation, Fresh Talks Cancelled
Mumbai: With the Centre-Kisan Negotiations deadlock, thousands of farmers stayed on Delhi’s borders to repeal agricultural marketing laws.
A meeting convened by Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday night failed as farmer leaders rejected the government’s offer to amend the new agricultural laws, saying they were nothing short of a violation of the law.
The sixth round of talks between the government and farmer unions has been canceled to end Wednesday’s protest at various borders in Delhi.
This occurred when several agricultural leaders threatened to boycott the talks.
