Amit Shah, Narendra Tomar Discuss Farmers' Issues With Punjab BJP Leaders

News 18  

As the Centre’s talks with protesting farmers continue to be stalled, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held discussions on the farmers’ issues with Punjab BJP leaders on Sunday in the presence of Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar. At the nearly 40-minute meeting at Shah’s residence in Delhi, the situation in Punjab and steps to tackle the protest that farmers plan to intensify in the coming days were also discussed. The moves comes after a group of 32 farm unions on Saturday announced to hold a day- long ‘hunger strike’ at Singhu border on the Delhi-Ambala route on December 14 and to spread the ongoing protest across India in the absence of any positive signal from the Centre to roll back the three farm laws enacted in September. Thousands of farmers are protesting on Delhi’s borders under the open skies to seek the withdrawal of The Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce Act, 2020; The Farmers Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and The Essential Commodities Act, 2020.
