Union Minister Anurag Thakur Urges Farmers to Continue Dialogue, Avoid Violence

Farmers’ protest: Union Minister Anurag Thakur says, “I would like to say that the Modi Government has taken several steps in the last 10 years to encourage the agriculture sector and for the welfare of farmers. When they posed their demands, the government sent its senior leaders and continued the dialogue. What is the reason that new demands are being added to the demands? If new demands are being added, more time is also required. States need time to hold discussions. We are ready to continue the discussions. Most of their demands have been accepted but the new demands require more time. I urge the agitators to not indulge in vandalism, arson, or violence. I request farmer leaders to come and have discussions.”
