Addressing media persons after attending the BJP's Kisan Morcha meeting, Tomar said: "We have always worked for the betterment of farmers and spoken about their interest."
After year-long protests over the three farm laws, the farmers' union on Thursday said that they would vacate the borders on December 15. Here is a timeline of how the events unfolded.
After farmers protest, Rakesh Tikait may initiate a new movement against privatisation of public sector banks, gives hint in a new tweet.
Farmers' agitation is still continuing even after the government accepted the demand to repeal all three farm laws.
Farmers across the country under the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) banner had been agitating since last one year demanding repeal of the three farm laws.
Agitating farmers on Wednesday in a press conference said that they will end their protest only after the government gives written assurance on the pending demands. The development in the ongoing protests has come after 32 farmer unions held a meeting at the Singhu border.
The Centre has sought 5 names from farmer unions for the panel on Minimum Support Price (MSP) and other issues.
The farm bills were passed without a debate when the two sides did not agree and they were repealed without a debate when the two sides agreed, Chidambaram said.
While from Rakesh Tikait's recent statements, it seems that he isn't ready to end the ongoing farmers' protest until the issue of MSP is discussed, many farmer leaders want the protest to end. Farmer leader Manjeet Singh Sirsa too seems to be in the same favour.
Rakesh Tikait said that though the government has repealed the farm laws, the farmers' problems will not come to an end with this as the government is trying to bring in various anti-farmer laws.
The Trinamool Congress has already said it is "disinterested" in coordinating with the Congress during the Winter Session of Parliament but maintained that it would cooperate with other opposition camps.
Rahul Gandhi said that manner in which farm laws have been repealed without debate shows the government afraid of discussion.
The Winter Session of Parliament is set to begin on a stormy note on Monday (November 29), with the government ready to bring in a bill to repeal the three contentious farm laws. The Farm Laws Repeal Bill is slated to be introduced in the Lok Sabha
