New Delhi: The deadlock between protesting farmers and the government continued after a seven-hour long meeting at Vigyan Bhawan yesterday, as the representatives of farmer organisations remained firm that they don’t want any amendments in the agricultural laws. “Our movement against farm laws will continue and we’ll definitely take back something from the government, be it bullets or a peaceful solution. We’ll come back for more discussions with them,” said Chanda Singh, a member of the farmer delegation after the meeting. Darshanpal, leader of the Krantikari Kisan Union of Punjab stated that the government has agreed to make some amendments in the farm laws, remove agriculture from the law to prevent pollution, and assured us about the MSP. The government called for a meeting again on December 4, but farmer organisations asked it to do it on December 5 so that we can decide on our strategy on December 4.
