Khattar further pointed out that farmers didn't engage with the committee set up by the Supreme Court, highlighting the need for cooperation.
«The central government has already offered to hold talks with the farmers. The farmers also did not come to hold talks with the committee constituted by the Supreme Court. It is not right on behalf of farmers to hold talks with conditions. They should agree to hold talks and look for a solution..,» he said.
Earlier today, former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal hit out at the BJP-led NDA government at the centre over the ongoing farmers' protest, accusing them of reneging on what he claimed were 'promises' made to the farmers three years back.
In a post on X, the AAP national convenor termed the BJP as 'arrogant.' He also said that the ruling party at the centre will be responsible if anything happens to the farmers in Punjab who are on indefinite hunger strikes.
