Centre prepones talks with farmers

"It was decided that next round of talks will be held on December 3 but farmers are agitating, it's winter and there's Covid. So meeting should be held earlier. So farmer leaders -- present in 1st round of talks -- have been invited at Vigyan Bhavan on December 1 at 3 pm," ANI quoted Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar as saying.

"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 govt is ready for talks," he said.
