march again today from the two points on the Punjab-Haryana border as the previous four rounds of talks with the Centre over a legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP) for crops have failed. These talks turned out to be inconclusive even as Union ministers met the farmers in Chandigarh in the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
The protestors had put forward 10 demands including a legal guarantee to the minimum support price (MSP) for all crops, the implementation of Swaminathan Commission’s formula, full debt waiver for farmers, pension for farmers and labourers, and withdrawal of cases against farmers during the 2020-21 protest and more.
