Farmer Team Meet In Delhi Today To Discuss Centre's Offer To End Protest
NDTV
Yesterday sources said the centre had indicated it is willing to offer a written assurance on a number of the farmers' demands, including a committee on MSP
A five-member team of farmer leaders will meet at 10.30 am in Delhi to discuss the proposal sent by the centre yesterday evening - one which, if accepted, could end more than 15 months of (sometimes violent) protests against the controversial farm laws and demanding a legal guarantee for MSP.
The centre scrapped the farm laws last month - in a stunning U-turn after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and union ministers had staunchly and repeatedly defended the controversial laws. The farmers welcomed the decision but indicated they would not stand down till the MSP issue was resolved.
After the 10.30 am meeting, the five farmer leaders will go to Singhu on Delhi's borders - where thousands of farmers have been camped for close to a year - for a 2 pm meeting with the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, the umbrella body of farmer unions that is leading the protest.
The farmer leaders say they have been in touch with central government officials via the phone.
