New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s talks with protesting farmers on Tuesday failed to resolve the farmers protest. Protesting farmers refused the proposal of Amit Shah, accept the government’s offer of Amendment in the laws. Farmers stick on their demand for a complete scrapping of new laws.

The farmer six times talk with the government, which was scheduled on Wednesday has been called off. As per the sources, farmers unions were given a presentation on the bills on Tuesday and a proposal will be sent to farm leaders today with written amendments that the government intends to carry out. The farmers’ meeting will be held at noon at the Singhu border, where thousands have been camping for more than 10 days, demanding scrapping of the three new laws which they fear will shrink their income and leave them at the mercy of corporates.

The offer of amendment in the laws was made at the last couple of meetings between the centre and the farmers, which was turned down by the farmers. There was expectation that the government might be making a fresh proposal. The government, however, made it clear that there has been no rethink on its last stated position. Eight farmer leaders were called for the meeting, which started around 9 pm at Pusa Institute, located in a secluded corner of the national capital to keep out the media glare. The biggest farmers’ union of Punjab, the Bharatiya Kisan Union Ugrahan, was not invited for the meeting.
