The Shiromani Akali Dal and the Congress on Wednesday urged farmers protesting against the Centre바카라s farm laws to talk directly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying otherwise the dialogue will not yield any result.
Commenting on farmer leaders' meeting with the Centre over the laws on Wednesday, former Union minister and Akali Dal바카라s Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal said they shouldn't fall into the 바카라trap바카라 of extended meetings, 바카라which yield nothing바카라.
Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar too favoured direct talks with the PM, saying the involvement of the prime minister or Union home minister is a must for a successful dialogue.
바카라Our farmers are on the cusp of victory. I appeal to them to hold direct talks with the PM to get these agri laws repealed," Badal said in a tweet.
바카라They shouldn't fall into trap of extended meetings which yield nothing,바카라 the Bathinda MP added.
Badal, whose party had quit the BJP-led NDA due to differences over the issue earlier this year, said had the Centre listened to her warnings about repercussions of the laws, things could not have come to such an impasse.
People바카라s will is supreme in a democracy, she said in another tweet tagged to Prime Minister Narendra Modi바카라s Twitter handle.
She urged the PM not to prolong the suffering of thousands of farmers sitting at Delhi borders against the laws.
Meanwhile, Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar said for talks to be successful, involvement of PM Modi or Union Home Minister Amit Shah is a must.
바카라After Amit Shah's intervention failing to resolve the issue, next level of talks should have been with PM. Strangely these have been downgraded to previous levels. For talks to be successful, involvement PM or HM is a must. Otherwise it's a futile exercise,바카라 Jakhar tweeted.
Thousands of farmers have been protesting against the Centre's farm laws at Delhi borders for over a month now.
Enacted in September, the three farm laws have been projected by the Union government as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove the middleman and allow farmers to sell their produce anywhere in the country.
However, the protesting farmers have expressed apprehension that the new laws would pave the way for eliminating the safety cushion of the minimum support price (MSP) and do away with the mandi system, leaving them at the mercy of big corporates.
The government has repeatedly asserted that the MSP and mandi systems will stay and has accused the Opposition of misleading the farmers.
