Farmers reject proposal to hold laws for 1.5 yrs

January 21, 2021 20:50

Farmers protesting against the controversial farm sector laws have decided to hold out for a complete scrapping of the laws, rejecting the Centre's new proposal of putting them on hold for 18 months while negotiations continue with a fresh committee.

The government had put forward the proposal yesterday at the 10th round of negotiations with the farmers' unions.

The farmers had given no immediate reply. Several of them said that the government has become unnerved by their plans for a big tractor rally on Republic Day.
