Farmers have been protesting against the new agricultural laws on the Delhi border for 37 days. Farmers’ organizations will hold an important meeting on Friday before the eighth round of talks with the central government on 4 January. In this, farmers will discuss further strategies.

Farmer leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni said that the United Kisan Morcha has called an important meeting today to discuss the next action of the farmers. He said that there is no question of withdrawing the new farmers laws and the demands related to the minimum support of the minimum support prize (MSP).

He said that the government has accepted our two demands related to stubble and electricity laws. This does not mean that we will back down from the remaining 2 demands.

Center asked farmers to explore options
The All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee had said that the Center had sought the option of asking farmers to withdraw the law, which is not possible. The new laws will give corporate control over the agricultural market, farmer’s land and food chain.

On Thursday, the government accepted 2 demands
Farmers have 4 major issues. First, the government should withdraw all three agricultural laws. Secondly, the government should give a legal guarantee that it will continue the minimum support price. Third- Electricity bill will be withdrawn. Fourth- the provision of punishment for burning stubble should be withdrawn.

After five hours of talks on Thursday, the two issues related to the electricity bill and the stubble became a matter between the government and farmer organizations. The farmers then postponed the tractor rally to be held on 31 December. Differences on agricultural law and MSP still persist.

Meeting on 4 January on 2 demands
Now the eighth round is to be held between the farmers and the central government on 4 January. It will discuss the demand of farmers to withdraw two agricultural laws and MSP’s legal guarantee. Please tell that the farmers have been standing on the borders of Delhi since 26 November. In Punjab, there were agitations before this.
