Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Wednesday said that he is hopeful that farmers’ unions will discuss the request of the government. He added that farmers should tell them what they want to add or remove from the proposal given by the government.
“I’m hopeful that farmers’ unions will discuss our request. Whatever they want to add and subtract from govt’s proposal, they should tell us. We’re ready for a discussion at the time and date of their convenience. I’m hopeful of a solution,” said Tomar.
He added, “I would also like to thank banks, as they brought more than 1 crore farmers under Kisan Credit Card cover during the pandemic and gave farmers Rs 1 lakh crores in last 8 months. We’ve undertaken some reforms and will bring more in future.”A decision on the government’s offer for fresh talks to resolve the deadlock over contentious farm laws is likely to be taken later in the day by protesting farmer unions who urged people on Wednesday to skip one meal on ‘Kisan Diwas’, the birth anniversary of former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, in support of their stir.
