The Centre is inclined to continue talks with agitating farmer leaders despite the violence and chaos in the capital on Republic Day, a top government source has told The Hindu. “We are, of course, waiting and watching how events will play out,” the source told this writer, stressing that the government had been flexible in holding a dialogue with farm leaders. With the police deployed to deal with the continued law and order challenge from what appears to be a splinter element of the agitating farmers, the government has an open mind on continuing talks. “It was a perfect opportunity that was rejected by the farmer unions,” the top government source said, adding that the government had no issues in continuing a dialogue with the farmers’ leadership.
