Farmer Protest: Even after the order of the Supreme Court, the Center is ready for tomorrow's talks, but the questions raised in the mind of the farmers

The ninth round of talks between the central government and leaders of farmer organizations on agricultural laws is to be held tomorrow (January 15). So far, eight rounds of talks have been held between the two, but no concrete solution has been reached. But, after the Supreme Court imposed a moratorium on laws and the formation of a four-member committee, the next meeting has become uncertain.

However, so far no official statement has come from the farmers' organizations and the central government regarding Friday's meeting. A section of farmers believes that as the apex court has formed a committee that will listen to the grievances of the farmers, it is of no use to continue parallel negotiations. The eight rounds of talks with the Center have not yielded any benefit.

The central government is constantly in favor of negotiating with the farmers on agricultural laws, as Minister of State for Agriculture Parshottam Rupala has said that a solution can be found only by negotiation. At the same time, the farmers have also refused to go before the committee set up by the Supreme Court. The farmers believe that the four members of the committee are pro-government and that is why their words will not be heard.

The Supreme Court's ban on laws has come as a disappointment for both the Center and the farmers. Another Minister of State for Agriculture Kailash Chaudhary says the government does not want the laws to be banned. He said, "We did not want the laws passed in Parliament to have stayed. Despite this, the order of the Supreme Court is acceptable. We welcome the order of the Supreme Court." At the same time, a farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal had said in a press conference that we will not appear before any committee. Our movement is against all three agricultural laws. We never requested the Supreme Court to form a committee and the government is behind it.
