Will decide next course of action in 2-3 days, say farmers
India TV NewsFarmer unions protesting against the 3 farm laws on Saturday said they will decide their next course of action in the next two-three days after the Supreme Court earlier this week pointed out it was thinking of setting up an "impartial and independent" panel of agriculture experts and peasants' unions to resolve the deadlock. Farmer leader Shiv Kumar Kakka said discussions among unions are currently underway to decide their strategy, adding that they are "Our meetings are being held for the next course of action. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court had acknowledged the right of farmers to non-violent protests and mooted the idea of putting on hold the contentious farm laws to enable negotiations with the agitating farmers, which was opposed by the Centre, which said the agriculturists would not come forward for the talks then. The apex court, which made it clear that the issue of farmers' protest and the right of others to move freely would be dealt on priority at the moment and not the validity of the laws, also said it was thinking of setting up an "impartial and independent" panel of agriculture experts and farmer unions to resolve the impasse.
