Ahead of the fourth round talks with farmers, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held deliberations with Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal on ways to dispel their concerns over the farm laws. And in a move to remove apprehensions of farmers on the agricultural laws, the government has decided to involve secretaries of home, agriculture and consumer affairs in the meeting with farmers on Thursday.
During the deliberations, the ministers are believed to have discussed the issues raised by the farmers and how the government can constructively respond to dispel their apprehensions.
“The Government will hold discussions with farmers’ leaders on Thursday and let’s see to what extend issues can be resolved,” Tomar said.
The agriculture minister appealed to the farmers that the government is ready to address their concern if any. “I appeal to the farmers that the laws are in their interest and the reforms have been done after a long wait, but if they have any objection to it then we are ready to address their concerns,” Tomar was quoted by ANI.
Meanwhile, the Rashtriya Kisan Mahashangha has forwarded their demands to the agriculture ministry seeking legal status of MSP, SDM court not to be made the final authority for all issues related to the case of resentment and the need to create a robust environment for access of latest technology in agro-inputs.
