Dilli Chalo | Government renews offer for dialogue with farmers

The Hindu  

A day after the farmer unions rejected its offer of talks, the Union government on Thursday again wrote to them extending an invitation for talks and reiterated its commitment to a logical solution to all the issues raised by the agitating farmer groups. In a three-page letter to the unions, Agriculture Ministry Joint Secretary Vivek Aggarwal said the government had always been discussing the issues with open mind and honest intentions to put an end to the agitation and sought a convenient date and time for further discussion on the matter. It further said the government was ready for talks on any issues, including other than those identified in the December 3 meeting, in connection with the Electricity Amendment Act and the provisions on stubble burning. ‘Govt must act’ All-India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee general secretary Avik Shah, in his Facebook address, said the government should start engaging farmers on an agenda that addressed their real issues. Farmers too wanted peace, but the government must send a letter outlining the terms and conditions under which the three laws could be repealed for a good discussion.
