Govt ready for ‘logical solution’ to farmers’ demand, offers to resume talks

New Delhi, Dec 24 : As the farmers’ agitation entered the 29th day on Thursday against the three contentious farm laws, the central government invited the farmer leaders to resume talks, saying it is “ready for a logical solution” to all issues raised by the farmers.
Taking cognisance of Wednesday’s letter sent by a group of 40 farm leaders under the banner of Sanyukta Kisan Morcha who are representing thousands of agitating farmers sitting on demonstration at Delhi’s different borders, the government conveyed its message through an official letter inviting them to hold a fresh round of talks as per their time and schedule.
“The Indian government again reiterates its commitment that it is ready for the logical solution of all the issues raised by the farmers’ organisations,” said the letter accessed by IANS.
Citing the government’s stand communicated through its earlier letter sent to the farmers on December 20, the fresh communique mentioned “it is already informed that the government is ready to hold discussions with the farmers on a positive note to address their written as well as oral issues”.
In the latest letter, the government clarified that it is always ready to hold discussions with all farmer organisations as it is the responsibility of the Centre which cannot be ignored.
“The government has held various rounds of discussions with the farmer organisations in the past and it has also showed its initiative to hold further talks.”
