Union Minister for Home Amit Shah has called agitating farmers for talks today evening at 7 pm, a day before the sixth round of government negotiations with the farmer leaders over the new farm laws.
“We have a meeting with the Home Minister at 7 pm today. We are going to Singhu Border now and from there we will go to the Home Minister,” Rakesh Tikait, Spokesperson, Bharatiya Kisan Union told news agencies.
Farmer unions today staged a nationwide Bharat Bandh on account to protest against the new farm laws introduced by the Centre.
The farmers threatened to block national highways and occupy toll plazas across the country during a ‘chakka jam’ protest from 11 am to 3 pm, part of the ‘bandh’.
The farmers on the other hand are scheduled to have a formal meeting on Wednesday with the Government.
There a chance that the Home Minister might break the ice with the agitating farmers this night.
