Farmer leaders spearheading the ongoing agitation have rejected the Centre's proposal to shelve the three new farm laws for a period of a year-and-a-half. The decision was announced by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha in a press statement on Thursday.
The statement went on to add that the decision to reject the Government of India's proposal was taken during a general body meeting of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha. "A full repeal of three central farm acts and enacting legislation for remunerative MSP for all farmers were reiterated as the pending demands of the movement," the statement said.
Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar had said in a press conference on Wednesday that the Centre has offered to suspend the farm laws for 12-18 months. A joint committee will be formed and the farm laws will remain suspended until this committee submits its report, Tomar had asserted.
Representatives of farmers' outfits are set to meet a delegation of the central government at 12 noon on Friday for the next round of talks. In fact, Narendra Singh Tomar met Union Home Minister Amit Shah at the latter's official residence on Thursday to discuss future course of action.
