We will review our support to NDA if black laws are not revoked, says RLP

Centre has invited the protesting farmer unions for talks on December 1, said Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar amid massive agitation.

New Delhi: In a major development on Monday (November 30, 2020) night, the Centre invited the protesting farmer unions for talks on December 1, said Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar amid massive agitation. 

Tomar said, "When farm laws were brought, they caused some misconception among farmers. We held two rounds of talks with farmer leaders on October 14 and November 13. At that time too we had urged them to not go for agitation and that the government is ready for talks."

The farmers, who had on November 29 announced that they would blockade five points of entry into Delhi in coming days while rejecting the Centre's offer to hold talks once they move to the Burari ground, said they have come for a decisive battle and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to listen to their "mann ki baat".

Earlier on Sunday, Union Home minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Tomar also held a meeting at BJP President JP Nadda's residence. 

Farmers amassed on the borders of the national capital on Sunday refused to move to the Burari ground in the national capital where the Centre invited them for talks.

On December 1, the farmers' protests will get into the sixth day.
