New Delhi: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday said that his government will soon bring in a law to claim the recovery of damages to public properties. Khattar's statement on farmers' protest came soon after he met Amit Shah earlier in the day, saying that he had a detailed discussion with Home Minister over the ongoing agitation among other issues.

"We discussed the farmers' protest among other issues. We will be bringing a law for recovery of damages to public property from protesters," Khattar told reporters after the meeting.

Khattar has also said that some people are agitating just for the “sake of protest” which reflects their “vested political intent”. He, however, expressed confidence that the issue would be resolved soon.

“If through a positive dialogue, any amendment in these laws is required then the Union Government will always be ready for it,” he said.

Khattar also said the BJP-led government at the Centre is undoubtedly of the view the three laws are for the farmers’ benefit and will give a boost to the agricultural sector.

The Haryana Chief Minister, who earlier met Amit Shah, said that he discussed the farmers' protest among other issues with the Union Home Minister.

Khattar, who made the statement after a meeting with Haryana MPs in New Delhi in which their suggestions were sought for the next state budget to be presented in the state assembly scheduled in March, said the suggestions and expectations of the lawmakers regarding the development of their constituencies will be looked into during the preparation of the state budget.

The meeting was among others attended by Rajya Sabha MPs Lt Gen (Retd.) D.P. Vats, Dushyant Gautam and Ram Chander Jangra.
