To stop the march of farmers to Delhi, the issue of guaranteeing minimum support price (MSP) of crops got stuck in the marathon meeting between the central government and farmer leaders. All the borders adjacent to Delhi have been sealed. On the farmers' protest, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said that new demands have been put forward, which the states need time to discuss. Therefore, farmer leaders are requested to come and discuss.

 

Many steps taken in the last 10 years

Anurag Thakur said, 'I would like to say that the Modi government has taken many steps in the last 10 years to encourage the agriculture sector and the welfare of farmers. When they put forth their demands, the government sent its senior leaders and continued the talks. A meeting was held in Chandigarh yesterday. During this, the farmer leaders got up and left, while we kept saying let's discuss.

 

 

He said, 'What has happened after all that new demands are being made? If new demands are being made then more time is needed. States need time to discuss. We are ready to continue the discussion.

 

do not engage in violence

The Union Minister said, 'Most of their demands have been accepted but more time is needed to discuss new demands. I request the agitators not to indulge in vandalism, arson, or violence. I request the farmer leaders to come and discuss.

 

Let us tell you, farmers will again continue moving towards Delhi today. Meanwhile, the wall barriers erected by the police to prevent farmers from reaching Delhi are being strengthened by filling them with concrete.
