Agreed farmer talks: Center meeting in presence of Shah-Rajnath before meeting farmers, third meeting in 36 hours

Posted on 1st Dec 2020 by rohit kumar

Today is the sixth day of the farmers' agitation on the borders of Delhi against the agricultural bills of the Center. The government has called farmers for talks at 3 o'clock today. The farmers also agreed because the government has not placed any condition.

 

Earlier, the ministers of the government held a separate meeting. This was the third meeting of the Center in 36 hours on the issue of farmers. Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, and Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar were present in this meeting held at the house of BJP President JP Nadda. Earlier, Shah had deferred the schedule of going to the BSF Rising Day event. The reason for this is stated to be an important official work.

 

Before the talks with the government, farmers' anger was seen on the Delhi-UP border. Farmers on the Ghazipur-Ghaziabad border used tractors to remove barricades.

 

2 borders of Delhi-Haryana still closed today

The police have closed the Singhu and Tikari borders of Delhi adjoining Haryana for the second consecutive day today. Delhi Traffic Police has said that for movement from Delhi to Haryana, one can move from Jharoda, Dhansa, Daurala, Kapashera, Rajokri NH-8, Bijwasan, Palam Vihar and Dundahera border. These borders are open. Only a two-wheeler movement is allowed from the Badosarai and Jhatikara borders.

 

Government summons leaders of 32 farmer organizations

After talking to the farmers on December 3, the Adi government gave up the stubbornness on Monday, and on December 1, ie, today at 3 pm, the leaders of 32 farmers organizations have been called to Vigyan Bhawan for talks. Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that the farmer leaders who were involved in the meeting on 13 November have been invited to join the talks.

 

Demonstration was already going on in Punjab against the three new agricultural bills of the Center, but 6 days ago, farmers of Punjab-Haryana traveled to Delhi. The police stopped them at the border itself. The government told the farmers that if they finish the protest and come to Burari, then the talks can be held even earlier.

 

Home Minister-Agriculture Minister met 2 times in 24 hours
