No breakthrough in farmers-Amit Shah talks, protest to continue (Ld)

New Delhi, Dec 9 : The meeting between a delegation of farmers’ leaders and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday failed to reach any agreement, as the government refused outright to repeal the three farm laws and only offered amendments, according to a participant.
All India Kisan Sabha leader Hannan Mollah said that the government only offered to carry out certain amendments.
“The government said it will give a proposal to the farmers tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. Till the government gives us in writing that the laws will be rolled back, there is no point in coming for the meeting,” he told reporters.
The next round of talks between the farmers’ leaders and the government is scheduled on Wednesday.
A meeting of the farmers’ union leaders would be held on the Singhu border at 12 noon on Wednesday to decide the way ahead.
The meeting on Tuesday was delayed as differences emerged between the farmers’ leaders over the venue.
