Farmer unions reject govt's proposals to amend laws, ask not to 'discredit' stir

India TV News  

The Krantikari Kisan Union has written a letter to the Centre wherein it has asked not to engage with other farmers' organisations. Its president Darshan Pal said that the union has already rejected the government's proposals sent on December 5 to amend the farm laws. Pal's letter to Agriculture Ministry secretary Vivek Agarwal also said that the government should stop 'discrediting the farmers’ protests and talk to all farmer groups with equal importance'. Explaining why the farmers have rejected the Centre's proposals, he said that the government’s written proposal was a compilation of exactly what was conveyed to them in the previous rounds of talks verbally. Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, are currently staying put at Delhi's borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh in protest against the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce Act, 2020, the Farmers Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and the Essential Commodities Act, 2020.
