Des Ki Baat: Opposition Parties, Trade Unions Back Shutdown Call By Farmers

Des Ki Baat- December 07, 2020: As the farmers' protest entered a 11th day today, support for Tuesday's "Bharat bandh" grew steadily, with opposition parties and trade and transport unions backing the shutdown call. On Saturday farmer leaders met union ministers for talks - third this week and fifth since September - but the five-hour discussion broke down on the core issue - repeal of the laws. After the meeting Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said the centre remains committed to finding a solution but urged farmers to scale down protests outside Delhi - by sending the elderly and children home. A sixth meeting will take place on Wednesday, at which a fresh proposal from the centre will be tabled. Between now and then the farmers will hold a bandh to keep up pressure on the centre.
