Government signals no repeal of farm laws, will send fresh proposals today

A meeting between home minister Amit Shah and key farmers’ representatives on Tuesday failed to break the impasse over the new agri laws, but the agitating farmers’ unions agreed to hold a meeting at Singhu border on Wednesday to consider fresh proposals from the Centre and decide whether to renew negotiations. As a result, the scheduled sixth round of talks may not take place on Wednesday.A meeting between home minister Amit Shah and key farmers’ representatives on Tuesday failed to break the impasse over the new agri laws, but the agitating farmers’ unions agreed to hold a meeting at Singhu border on Wednesday to consider fresh proposals from the Centre and decide whether to renew negotiations.
