NEW DELHI: The farmers' protests against the new agriculture laws entered into the seventh consecutive day on Wednesday (December 2, 2020) as peaceful sit-ins by farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, continued at the Singhu and Tikri borders.
Although, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held deliberations with Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal in Delhi on ways to dispel concerns over the new farm laws.
Earlier on Tuesday, at the third round of talks with the union leaders of the agitating farmers, the Union Ministers conveyed to the farmers the benefits of the Acts brought to improve the agricultural sector. The farmers` representatives, however, termed the laws as contrary to their interests.
The over three-hour-long dialogue between a group of more than 32 farmer union leaders and the government remained inconclusive.
Now, all eyes are on the fourth round of talks that is scheduled on Thursday to break the deadlock.
