Government again calls Punjab farm unions for talks

BHATINDA/AMRITSAR: Three days after 30 farm organisations in Punjab rejected the Centre’s offer of talks on the three contentious agriculture laws,

the Union agriculture ministry

has once again invited them on October 14, barring Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) Lakhowal.


In another initiative to cool down matters, as many as nine

Union ministers

will hold virtual press conferences from October 13 onwards to address queries of farm organisations. The lineup includes Union ministers Narendra Singh Tomar, Hardeep Singh Puri, Som Parkash, Anurag Thakur, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Dr Jitendra Singh, Kailash Choudhary, Smriti Irani and Sanjeev Kumar Balyan.

The invite sent to the farm organisations reads, “The

farmers

are on protest for the last few days in Punjab pertaining to agri-related issues. The government of India has always been serious about agriculture, so it is willing to hold talks with the farmers.”
