Govt Sends Draft Proposal To Farmers: Unions To Hold Discussion On It

Mumbai: The Centre on Wednesday sent its draft proposal to the farmers protesting against the farm laws.

As the farmers’ talks with Union High Minister Amit Shah ended in a deadlock on Tuesday, it was decided that a written proposal (amendment) will be sent by the Center today, which the government intends to make regarding farm laws is.

It may be noted that the government has categorically stated that it would not repeal the statutes but is open to address the farmers’ concerns. The 40 farmers’ bodies which are holding the massive protests since November 26 have said that they would study the proposal and announce their stand.
