Farmers’ stir: Talks between Amit Shah, farmer leaders fail to make breakthrough

Hindustan Times  

Talks between Home Minister Amit Shah and a select group of farmers’ representatives failed to make any breakthrough on Tuesday night with the union leaders insisting on their demand for repeal of three new laws and rejecting the government’s proposal for amendments. After the meeting which ended around midnight, All India Kisan Sabha general secretary and CPI leader Hannan Mollah said, “The home minister has made it clear that the government will not repeal the laws. We will not attend tomorrow’s meeting.” Mollah said a final decision on attending the sixth round of talks will be taken at a meeting of union leaders Wednesday noon at Singhu border, where thousands of farmers have been camping for the last 12 days demanding the repeal of the laws. Tomar, Food Minister Piyush Goyal and Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Som Parkash, who have been leading the government’s consultations with the agitating farmers, were present at the meeting Shah had with the 13 farmer leaders at National Agricultural Science Complex, Pusa.
