The ninth round of talks between the Union government and the farmers agitating against the three recent farm laws has ended. The next round of meetings will be held on January 19.
For close to two months, thousands of farmers have been camping at various Delhi borders, demanding a complete repeal of the farm laws and a legal guarantee for a minimum support price (MSP) crop procurement system. While the farmers have remained adamant on their demands, the government has held its ground, leading to nine rounds of talks without a conclusion.
The latest, ninth, round of talks between the government officials and the farmers was held on Friday at Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi.
According to sources, Union minister Narendra Singh Tomar told the farmers during the meeting that while the government has accepted most of their demands, it is the farmers who are stuck and are not moving ahead to break the deadlock between the two over farm laws.
