FARMER PROTESTS: NO END IN SIGHT AS BOTH SIDES DIG THEIR HEELS
Even after the 8th round of negotiations, the logjam continues with farmers sticking to their demand of repeal of the farm laws and the Centre ruling out a complete withdrawal of Acts, asserting the laws have been welcomed by a large section of farmers in other states across the country. The study explains MSP as the most contentious issue; and analyses expert views, in all aspects, if the reform is loaded against farm-ers; that Farm unions ‘maximalist approach’ could be counterproductive; the contrary view that it is a movement for defending existing privileges; along with the social and political character of the agitation.
