Farmers To Formally Call Off Protest Tomorrow, Centre Agrees To Demands
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
Farmers who have spent the last 15 months protesting the controversial farm laws and pushing for a legal guarantee for MSP, are on the brink of scaling down their agitation after accepting a second draft proposal from the government, which includes assurances on MSP and withdrawal of police cases.
"We have accepted the revised draft given by the centre over our demands in regard to farmers agitation against three farm laws. We will hold a meeting again tomorrow, as soon we receive a formal letter from centre. Protest is still underway," farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni said.
Tomorrow's meeting will be at 12 pm, when a final decision on reducing the intensity of protests - which could include the thousands of farmers camped out around Delhi going back home - will be taken.
The stand-down comes after a stunning series of U-turns by the government - from repealing the farm laws to withdrawing police cases against the farmers and, crucially, offering a written guarantee to consider their long-standing demand to make MSP, or minimum support price, official.
