They have shared their worry for the protesting farmers amid the tough weather, and sought that the matter is resolved at the earliest.
Meanwhile, after six meetings, three after the start of the protest, the deadlock continued. The farmers have raised their concern over factors like Minimum Support Price, while fearing about the new laws put them at the mercy of corporates. The Centre has reiterated that the MSP will continue, as mentioned by Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar in an 8-page letter addressed to the farmers on Thursday.
