Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday held a meeting with farmers' representatives and a few hours later he held a second round of meeting with the leaders of Bharatiya Kisan Union-Tikait. In the meeting, both the farmers and the government decided that the talks continue on Thursday.
The talks were held at the Union Agriculture Ministry that began in the evening at 7 p.m. The minister asked the farmers' representatives to submit their suggestions by Wednesday after listening to them.
After the meeting, the minister addressed the media and said that the farmers had some doubts and the ministry has asked them to submit the issues for further discussions.
BKU's Ratan Mann said: "The talks were good and the minister has asked for suggestions which will be submitted."
An over three-hour-long dialogue between a group of more than 32 farmers' union leaders and the government remained inconclusive on Tuesday. The fourth round of talks will be held on Thursday.
The farmers declared that they will continue their protest and the agitation will be strengthened day by day until the government resolves the issues by agreeing to their demands.
