Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Friday said that the government was ready to make changes to the farm laws after talks with the agitating farmers. Farmers have been protesting against the new farm laws for the last 16 days.
“We agree that we are not the over-ruling power and Unions might also have something in their mind. So, government is ready to make reforms in the laws after talks,” Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar was quoted as saying by ANI.
Farmers, protesting at the Delhi border, claim that the laws are aimed at benefitting corporates by weakening the mandi system and the minimum support price (MSP) regime for procurement of farm produce.
