Farmers on Wednesday rejected government’s proposal over the farm laws and called for a nationwide sit-in protest on December 14.
In a press conference, farmer leaders announced a ‘Delhi gherao’ plan saying that Delhi-Jaipur and Delhi-Agra highways will be blocked by the protesters by December 12 and all tolls across the country will be freed.
A representative group of farmer unions on Wednesday received a draft proposal from the government on some key concerns raised by the protesters.
Top sources in the government said the key amendments being proposed in the bills are an attempt to provide a tangible proposal to a number of unions along with the protestors who are not adamant on repealing the bills and have been pursuing reasonable demands.
The Centre’s proposals came after a four-hour meeting between 13 farm unions and the Government side led by Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday night.❐
