Union Agriculture Minister invites Leaders of Farmer Unions for talk on Tuesday
New Delhi: Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar invites leaders of farmer unions, protesting the three central farm reform laws, for talks on Tuesday, instead of December 3, citing the COVID-19 pandemic and cold.
According to the news agency ANI, the Agriculture Minister has invited representatives of farmer unions for talks on December 01 at Vigyan Bhawan.
Union Agriculture Minister, Narendra Singh Tomar said, “It was decided that next round of talks will be held on Dec 3 but farmers are agitating, it’s winter & there’s COVID. So meeting should be held earlier. So farmer leaders – present in 1st round of talks – have been invited at Vigyan Bhavan on Dec 1 at 3 pm.”
He said, “When Farm laws were brought, they caused some misconception among farmers. We held two rounds of talks with farmer leaders -on Oct 14 & Nov 13. At that time too we had urged them to not go for agitation & that the govt is ready for talks.”
