The protesting farmers have accepted the centre's offer of talks to end the deadlock over the three contentious agriculture laws passed earlier this year. The joint front of around forty farmers' unions on Saturday wrote to the government and proposed that the talks be held on December 29. They also said that repealing the three laws should be on top of the agenda. Today, the unions held a meeting to chalk out their future course of action. The fresh discussions come a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi - in his strongest attack on the opposition since the beginning of the protests - stressed that farmers' lands won't be taken away, adding that "some people are spreading lies". The Prime Minister also released a financial aid of ₹ 18,000 crore under the PM-Kisan cash transfer scheme. Five rounds of talks between the government and farmers have failed so far in the last few months.
