Yesterday, the Union government held a meeting with the representatives of the protesting farmers and offered to set up a committee to look into their demands, which they rejected.
After the meeting, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, however, said that the discussion was “good” and the fourth round of talks will be held on December 3.
On November 29, most of the farmers had refused the Centre’s plea to move their protest to Nirankari Samagam ground in Burari on the outskirts of Delhi, provided by the government to hold the demonstration, calling it an “open jail”.
“Instead of going to the open jail in Burari, we’ve decided that we will gherao Delhi by blocking five main entry points to Delhi. We’ve got four months ration with us, so there’s nothing to worry about. Our operations committee will decide everything,” said Surjeet S Phul, President of Bharatiya Kisan Union Krantikari (Punjab).
The farmers are protesting against The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
