Protesting Farmers, Government To Hold 8th Round Of Talks Today
New Delhi: The leaders of protesting farmers will meet government representatives in New Delhi today to hold the eight-round of talks ver the new agriculture laws that have sparked a furor across the country.
The protesting farmers have threatened to hold a tractor rally in the national capital on Republic Day if their demands are not met. On January 4 last meeting failed to break the stalemate with farmers insisting on the repeal of the new laws introduced in September.
Today's meeting is scheduled to being at 2 pm at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi.
The farmers on Thursday took out a tractor rally along the Delhi borders a rehearsal for the main one planned for January 26 if the talks fail.
Following the seventh round of talks, at least one farmer union involved in the parleys had asked the protesters to prepare for the long haul, since the government had clearly refused to consider the repeal of the law.
" We will discuss these three laws point-by-point and we are ready to make amendments as necessary after considering the points on which you have objections," a release from the Narendra Tomar-led agriculture ministry said quoting him.
Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and other states are camped in and around Delhi over the past many weeks in the protest against the new farm law.
The three contentious laws are the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
The protesters view these laws as pieces of legislation threatening their long-term financial position and bargaining power. However the government insists this will only free them more than ever to trade their produce in the wider market.
Till now over 60 farmer protesters have died, many because they could not survive the extreme weather conditions.
The Top Court in December had ordered that a special committee be formed insisting that the Centre's negotiations have failed. Your negotiation will again fail as they (the farmers) won't agree," said the bench led by Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde.
