The Supreme Court on Wednesday while observing that farmers issue will soon become a national issue proposes to form a committee comprising of government officials, farmer union leaders and other stakeholders to resolve the ongoing deadlock between the Centre and the farmers, mainly from north Indian states, over the enactment of the three new farm laws.
A bench of Supreme Court comprising of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian tells Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Centre, that the Centre's negotiations with the farmers have not worked apparently till now, and proposed to set up a committee.
The top court also granted permission to implead farmer organisations and posted the matter for hearing tomorrow. The Bench also issued notice to Centre and State governments on a batch of pleas seeking a direction to authorities to immediately remove the farmers who are protesting at several border points of Delhi against three new farm laws.
During the hearing, the Bench said that the government's negotiation is not working and asked the Centre to give names of some farmers organisation representatives to join them as parties in proceedings before it.
