Farmers바카라 Protest: The eighth round of talks between the Centre and the protesting farmers ended in a stalemate as both sides stuck to guns once again on repeal of the three controversial farm laws.
The eighth round of formal talks between the government and farmers바카라 groups agitating against the three contentious farm reform laws ended in an impasse as both sides refused to budge from their positions.
바카라We will meet again on January 15, but we don바카라t have much hope,바카라 said Hannan Mollah, general secretary of the Left-led All India Kisan Sabha, after the meeting.
The Centre was represented by Union ministers Narendra Singh Tomar, Piyush Goyal and Som Parkash, who met leaders of the 40 protesting farmer unions at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.
The ministers tried to convince the leaders that the farm laws were for their benefit. But they refused to a compromise anywhere less than a total rollback of the three farm laws.
바카라The government urged the protestors to put forward their demand other than a total repeal. I바카라m still hopeful that we바카라ll reach a consensus on January 15,바카라 Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh told the media later.
바카라We바카라ve asked the farmers바카라 unions to come forward with their proposals. We바카라re sure we바카라ll find a solution through dialogue,바카라 he added.
The meeting lasted for about two-and-half hours today.
Even during the meeting, farmers held placards saying 바카라we바카라ll win or die바카라 which depicted the general mood.
바카라Thousands of tractors were on roads in a protest march yesterday. You have seen it. The demonstration will continue till the laws are repealed. You바카라ll witness a bigger protest on January 26,바카라 Hannan Mollah told Outlook before the meeting began.
He was referring to the 바카라tractor march바카라 held by protesting farmers on Thursday (January 7). This was an apparent build-up to prepare for a 바카라parallel parade바카라 with tractors on Republic Day. The cavalcade is proposed to move into New Delhi from various parts of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
The last seven rounds of talks between the Centre and the farmer leaders remained inconclusive, although there was some 바카라breakthrough바카라 at a meeting on December 30 where the government conceded to two demands of the agitating farmers pertaining to power subsidy and stubble-burning.
Meanwhile, RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) has decided to launch what it called an 바카라awareness programme바카라 regarding the farm laws.
Called the 바카라Jan-Jagran바카라 programme, the BKS will reach out across 50,000 villages from January 26 to tell farmers about the three laws enacted recently.
The BKS is not a part of the farmers바카라 protest. The organisation does not want repeal of the laws but has sought some amendments to it.
Among its demands are that MSP legislation be amended, all traders be registered online, agriculture courts be set up in districts and to keep corporates out of the definition of 바카라farmers바카라.
