Farmers' protest LIVE updates Day 15: Farmer leaders have rejected a government offer of amendments in the new farm laws and a "written assurance" on continuing the MSP system, saying there was nothing new in it, and vowed to intensify their agitation by blocking key highways linking Delhi and a nationwide protest on December 14.
A day after protesting farmers rejected the government's offer for a written assurance on MSP and amend few provisions in the new farm laws, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday urged union leaders to consider the proposals and said he is ready for further discussions with them.

The sixth round of talks between the Centre and the agitating faremer unions slated for Wednesday was cancelled, but the two sides maintained they were open to dialogue.
The Opposition, which has been supporting the farmers' stir and had backed Tuesday's 'Bharat bandh', approached President Ram Nath Kovind seeking repeal of the farm laws against which thousands of farmers have been protesting on the borders of the national capital for the last 13 days.
The agitating farmers have urged the Union government to convene a special session of Parliament to repeal the three farm laws.
